Hi Nick
 
Maybe I'm missing something very obvious here ... but wouldn't you want the versioning, company info etc. compiled into the binary therefore necessitating a build when the project file is changed?

Subject: [NAntC-Dev] Proposed change to vb6 task

Hi all,

 

Currently the vb6 task in determining whether a rebuild is required checks the following:

 

-          Project file

-          Source files

-          References (optional)

 

The checking of references can be controlled with an attribute.

 

What I'm proposing is that the checking of the project file is also controllable with an attribute (default value = true).

 

The reason for this is that in our case, our formal build will always generate a copy of the  project files with all the necessary information in it (versioning, company info, etc, etc) prior to the actual compilation taking place, so I don't want to check the timestamp on the project file because it would always cause a rebuild.

 

The change is fairly trivial, and there is no change to existing functionality. I actually have this change in my local environment, and have been running it for several weeks now.

 

What do you think?

 

Regards,

Nick.
