Hi Gert, > It would be a large task, but definitely a very interesting one ...
Glad you like it Gert, as you know the code better than I do I am even happier that you said large instead of impossible :-). I remember awhile back that you had talked about a "team" of developers on the solution task and I guess I am just throwing in my hat. > I think I can see the following sub-tasks/issues : > > - have the <solution> task use the NAnt compiler tasks, and > other interop tasks instead of starting these as processes > ... <- this is a major task Agreed, although I have looked through the Solution.cs, ProjectBase.cs and Project.cs and it seems like there could be some "quick wins". I will take a closer look at this today and try to determine if this is true or I am being naļve :-). If I get something working I will post it to the list. > - we should have a mechanism in place for decorating tasks > with attributes that allow the supported framework(s) and > platform(s) of a task to be set (and cause build failures if > these "requirements" aren't met) <- this is a large task I can see some benefit of this for 3rd party tasks, but I am not sure why this is needed for the solution task. I have a pretty simple point of view on this, being that if the task does not work on both platforms the same way then there is a bug somewhere. Am I missing some complexity here? > - there's no such thing as AssemblyFolders for Mono/Unix, we > could use them on Windows though ... I am not sure what AssemblyFolders are, is this related to the private bin path we are using for library resolution currently? If not then is there a way to simulate this behavior and create Mono/Unix and Windows implementations that "do about the same thing"? > - not sure if we wil be able to use the HINTPATH on unix Again, the above might be possible. > - we'll definitely come across some mono bugs doing this, so > these need to be reported/fixed No doubt, I made sure my bugzilla account was still active :-). If it is anything that we can't work around though it is probably major enough that they will want to fix it for the release.
