[nant-dev] Slingshot, references, and questions
Hello all, new to this list, so if I break any etiquette, please let me know. First off, great job on this tool. I'm seriously considering trying to free up time so that I can help out - especially to merge these ideas with a unit test automation and logging framework I've been dreaming of, to build a total configuration management solution. However, I have a problem with Slingshot and a couple of questions for now: 1. I saw another posting about slingshot not working, or being useful right now - is there somewhere I can find additional information about this? 2. I can't seem to get my slingshot generated builds to run, specifically CSC is not getting and using the references that are included. I've looked at the nant.build vs. my build and can find no differences in the references section - what am I missing? 3. Why wasn't Slingshot accomplished via XSLT? I would think that would be the ideal way, since the SLN is XML. In fact, you could then easily build that into nant itself and allow people to just point to a SLN file. 4. How does one contribute to these projects? At the very least, maybe I can help with documentation and websites. (I notice that nantcontrib just points back to SF.) If I'm way off base, please let me know. Still reading through mailing list archives. thx D -- SteelSphere.com - Meandering Through the Information Age --- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com ___ Nant-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nant-developers
Re: [nant-dev] Slingshot, references, and questions
Hi. - Original Message - From: Dave Sanders [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, I have a problem with Slingshot and a couple of questions for now: 1. I saw another posting about slingshot not working, or being useful right now - is there somewhere I can find additional information about this? I wrote most of SLiNgshoT so you can always ask me. It works for what I wrote it for (converting the NDoc solution into Makefiles and build files). I know it's not perfect but other people use it and occasionally submit patches for it so it can't be entirely broken. 2. I can't seem to get my slingshot generated builds to run, specifically CSC is not getting and using the references that are included. I've looked at the nant.build vs. my build and can find no differences in the references section - what am I missing? Do you have an example solution that I can try out? 3. Why wasn't Slingshot accomplished via XSLT? I would think that would be the ideal way, since the SLN is XML. In fact, you could then easily build that into nant itself and allow people to just point to a SLN file. The .csproj files are in XML but the .sln isn't (unless that changed with 1.1 which I haven't tried yet). If your solution has references or dependencies between projects, then you have to parse the .sln file to resolve those. 4. How does one contribute to these projects? At the very least, maybe I can help with documentation and websites. (I notice that nantcontrib just points back to SF.) Just ask! I can commit your patches or you can ask for CVS access and commit them yourself.
