In order to use the global parameters from the root build file, you must include it in each subproject build file with:
<include buildfile="RootBuildFile.build" /> Also, although most concepts are the same as with Ant, the implementation and usage may be different. There is a wide difference between available tasks.

I wish to ask if some little diffcence between them I have observed, is a feature, bug or simple my mistake. I used to write some global parameters (<path>) in root build file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <project name="frs.src" default="build"> <property name="frs.root" location=".." /> <property name="frs.source" location="${frs.root}/src" /> <path id="common.include.path"> <pathelement path="${frs.source}/cmn/template" /> </path> and then use them in many other subprojects: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <project name="FrsAstronomy" default="error"> <target name="build"> <dcc srcfile="frs/Tools/Tools.dpr" debug="false"> <includepath refid="common.include.path" /> </dcc> </target> </project> This works fine in Ant, but doesn't work at all in NAnt. "common.include.path" is not defined. It seems that <path> elements are local only.
