Hi I think I've found an error closely related to: "[1078636] Solution task doesn't do MFC shared apps" (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1078636&group_ id=31650&atid=402868), which has already been closed by driesing and haniatassi in close collaboration.
To reproduce the error: Create a standard MFC dialog application [C++] (just the initial dialog application you get when you create an MFC Dialog project and compile it). >From inside Visual Studio I change the 'Character set' property to 'Use Unicode Character Set' (the default value is 'Use Multi-Byte Character Set'). This causes '-D _UNICODE' and '-D UNICODE' to be added to the compiler command line. But it also adds an '/ENTRY:"wWinMainCRTStartup"' option to the linker command line. When I compile the thing from Visual Studio it produces a working application. Nant, however, seems to neglect the character set property, when it comes to linking. Here's the verbose output from nant: --------8<--------8<-------- skipping to first [link]-line... --------8<--------8<-------- [link] PDB file 'C:\Projects\Test\nant2\Debug\ nant2.pdb' does not exist, relinking.
