C++ projects still use a custom (non-msbuild) file format and are compiled using vcbuild.exe.
My old workaround was to invoke Visual Studio from NAnt to compile the solution: <exec program="${environment::get-variable('VS80COMNTOOLS')}..\IDE\devenv.com" commandline="MySolution.sln /rebuild ${build.configuration}" /> I ultimately gave up trying to compile entire solutions with msbuild and resorted to compiling the individual projects in the solution with msbuild or vcbuild, decided by their extension (.csproj/.vbproj/.build or .vcproj) > Gem > > -Markus- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ NAnt-users mailing list NAnt-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nant-users
