Re: [NAntC-Dev] Support for JSharp in SLiNgshoT,

[Laurent ARNAL]

   Hi,
I will take a look to the Gordon Weakliems stylesheet.
I already see the <solution> task in old nant version, but I see many 
wrong thing with this :

1/ I don't know if it the case in new version, but you will need the 
full devenv.exe (Microsoft visual studio) to compile the solution.
2/ Compile progression, control other the compilation progress, and 
error handling seems not to be very good with devenv.exe
3/ I don't realy like the microsoft environment (2003) as a build tool. 
He always recompile all project at each start of devenv, either if I do 
not change any file !

   Laurent.

Hi Laurent,
SLiNgshoT has actually been deprecated. Instead of creating 
     

build files for
   

VS.NET solutions/projects, we now have a <solution> task in NAnt that
supports building VS.NET solutions/projects.
Currently, the <solution> task does not support J# projects, 
     

but this should
   

be relatively easy to add. However, we are close to releasing
NAnt/NAntContrib 0.85 (or 0.90, that is still to be 
     

decided), so this won't
   

make it into that release.
However, if you're interesting : we're planning on refactoring the
<solution> task code to make it more extensible and to allow 
     

better support
   

for different project types and versions of VS.NET. It would 
     

be great if you
   

could help us with the J# support.

     

another option is to look at extending Gordon Weakliems 
stylesheet based 
conversion process to handle j# projects. It can be found in 
the tools 
directory of NAntContrib cvs. See Gordons blog post for more 
information :
http://www.eighty-twenty.net/blog/urn:www-eighty-twenty-net:1328.html

The official line is that slingshot is deprecated in favour of the 
solution tasks and if your goal is just to build projects in 
the vs.net 
format then this is correct. However if you really want to 
convert those 
projects to NAnt build files then it clearly isn't. The real 
reason for 
Slingshot being deprecated is that its currently not being maintained 
and is suffering from bitrot. If someone is willing to step up and 
maintain either it or Gordon's stylesheet based version then 
we should 
retain them. The solution task is excellent for what it does but it 
doesn't cover the "convert vs projects to nant build files" use-case.
   

I agree and couldn't have said it better ;-)
Gert
PS. Ian, good to know you're still monitoring the crap I'm sending out ;-)
