ClearCase currently isn't directly supported by NAnt, unfortunately. I saw that some work was being done on some ClearCase tasks at this time last year, but I can't find them any more and haven't heard any news of them since, so they may be abandoned now. An alternative if you are looking at automating the build cycle is to try out CruiseControl.NET, which does provide support for at least updating from ClearCase prior to performing the build: http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/Rational+ClearCase+Source+Control+Block (or http://makeashorterlink.com/?P24412C5B ) It does add extra burden trying to configure two systems (NAnt and CCNet) simultaneously, but you do get the benefit of best-practice build processes and improved reporting from CCNet. When I was building with ClearCase and NAnt, I used the "cleartool" utility through <exec> tasks to perform the operations I required. The existing build process at that location was unfortunately rather un-standard, so standard commands weren't so appropriate... the build largely required the source tree to be writable, so I needed to simulate a "cvs export" from ClearCase. Feel free to drop me a line if you are having any specific issues, I might have already dealt with the issue and know a fix or workaround.
