[nant-dev] building assemblies for multiple .NET framework runtimes

[Gert Driesen]

Hi,   We're currently porting log4net to the .NET Compact Framework.  For the next release (1.2.0), we will be supporting .NET Framework 1.0, .NET Framework 1.1 and .NET Compact Framework 1.0, so we want to use nant for automating the build process.   We have to be able to built the log4net assembly for all three .NET runtimes, is this possible using nant right now ?  Currently, I think nant will always use the version of the commandline tools for the runtime version nant is using (eg. if nant is using .NET Framework 1.1, then the 1.1 version of the C# compiler and the assembly linker will be used) or am I wrong ?   I've figured out that, in order to compile an assembly for the .NET Compact Framework, you have to specify both the /nostdlib and /noconfig commandline options for the C# compiler (and of course you have to specify the full path to .NET Compact Framework system assemblies).   Will support for building assemblies for multiple platforms be incorporated in nant ?   Thanks,   Gert Driesen
