Hi Johannes, NAnt will not resolve PlatformID.Unix to its enum value.
You can use this instead: ${operating-system::get-platform(environment::get-operating-system())=='Unix '} However, this will only work if you're running NAnt on .NET 2.0 and higher (or Mono 2.0 profile). Or, you can use this: ${platform::is-unix()} This will work on all CLR's. May I ask why you need to know the (class)path separator? Have you tried using the <path> element: http://nant.sourceforge.net/release/latest/help/types/path.html Gert -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Johannes Luber Sent: zaterdag 22 december 2007 16:48 To: nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [NAnt-users] Help with property needed Hi! I've been trying to set a property dependent on the OS nant is running on, but so far I've failed. I can't get this to work: <if unless="${ (environment::get-operating-system())==PlatformID.Unix}"> <property name="java.classpath.separator" value=";"/> </if> <if if="${operating-system::get-platform(environment::get-operating-system())==P latformID.Unix}"> <property name="java.classpath.separator" value=":"/> </if> I always receive "Property evaluation failed." as error message. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance, Johannes ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
