Ian,
I'm sorry... The problem was that the ${build.dir} property
in a subproject was set to ${nant.project.basedir}/build, and the
resulting path was
../Core/home/genius/projects/gekkota/src/Gekkota/test/build/gekkota-debug/bin
instead of
../Core/build/gekkota-debug/bin
I usually set ${build.dir} to '${nant.project.basedir}/build' in the
build file located in the project's top directory, so that subprojects
put the results in the distribution directory when running nant from
there... but I set ${build.dir} to 'build' in the build files located in
each subproject, just to be able to work locally without having to go
back to the project's top directoy after each build.
So, in this case, I accidentally set ${build.dir} to
'${nant.project.basedir}/build' in a subproject.
I'm really sorry!!!!!!
Thanks,
Gius_.
