Hi Gert,
I actually handed the whole lc.exe problem over to my boss, who has experienced a similar thing before because I couldn't even get it to work from the command line. It seems there may have been a problem with the .licx file in that the module that the licensed class resides in was not specified... However, it builds fine from Visual Studio, and the solution suggested by Oran which is basically the same also refused to work, so I don't know. I need to retest this. In the meantime I wrote a quick task, which I'm happy to post to the list if people would find it useful, to build using Visual Studio's devenv.exe. It seems to work fine with VS.NET 2002, but I couldn't speak to its reliability with 2003. All of that said, my plan is actually NOT to use Visual Studio for builds in the long-term to avoid the possibility of a developer screwing up builds on the build server because they've managed to corrupt their project, so I'll be revisiting the lc.exe issue, hopefully some time next week.

Instead we copy the assembly/project references and lc.exe to a temp directory, and execute it from there. That way it should be able to resolve all references. I would be grateful if you could send me a complete repro (including the assemblies for licensed components).

The solution uses the .NET licensing support and incorporates a .licx file. However, when the license task attempts to compile the license I get the following output: F:\integration\Halibut\Build>nant -D:integrationRoot=F:\integration -D:version=1.0.0 -D:debug=true -buildfile:juscruisin.build build NAnt 0.85 (Build 0.85.1740.0; net-1.0.win32; nightly; 06/10/2004) Copyright (C) 2001-2004 Gerry Shaw http://nant.sourceforge.net Buildfile: file:///F:/integration/Halibut/Build/juscruisin.build Target(s) specified: build buildCommon: [solution] Starting solution build.

BUILD FAILED External Program Failed: C:\DOCUME~1\BART~1.REA\LOCALS~1\Temp\tmp2010.tmp\lc.exe (return code was -1) Total time: 1.3 seconds. It seems as though the project references are not being passed in to the license task, which causes it to fail when attempting to resolve the type referenced in the .licx file. Anybody have any ideas about this? Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? I'm using the NAnt 0.85 nightly build from 6th October as I'm running with CruiseControl.NET (or at least I will be) and 0.84 doesn't embed error messages correctly in the XML log. The task in my build file that fails is as follows: <target name="buildNewtDll" depends="buildCommon" description="xxxx"> <solution configuration="${solutionConfiguration}" includevsfolders="true" outputdir="${buildDir}"> <projects> <include name="${newtDllBase}\NewtCLI.csproj"/> </projects> </solution> </target> Any help would be gratefully received.
