Hi – I’m new to all this so please have
patience…. I just installed nant 0.84 and found that the solution task
does not support solutions with setup or msi projects included. I then downloaded
nantcontrib hoping to use the solution/slingshot task however I just
can’t get the property “nant.dir” correct to build
nantcontrib. (C#; VS2003) The readme.txt files states: “ 2) run NAntContrib.build referencing the
version of NAnt just built. nant -D:nant.dir=h:\cvs\nant\build\nant-0.8.4-debug
-f:NAntContrib.build nant.dir should point to the build directory just above
bin.” My directory structures are as follows: Off c:\nant\nant-0.84 I have a bin, build, doc, examples,
lib, schema, src and tests dirs. (Both 8.4, nant downloaded last week,
nantcontrib today) Off c:\nant\nantcontrib.tasks-0.84 I have bin, doc, src,
tests, tools dirs. All the dirs in nant-0.84 are on the same level; where is
the “build directory just above bin”? I thought I knew where nant was built – I’ve
used just about every combination of directories trying to get the proper
“nant.dir”. I’m feeling really brain dead and need some help - Here’s what I’m doing: Using a command prompt window I move to the
nantcontrib.tasks-0.84 directory; here is where the nantcontrib.build file is. I then attempt to follow the readme.txt instructions and
supply a value for nant.dir. I’ve tried many variations of the build line as seen
in readme.txt at the c:nant\natcontrib.tasks-0.84 prompt. Each time I get the following errors: Buildfile:
file:///C:/NANT/nantcontrib.Tasks-0.84/nantcontrib.build Target(s) specified: test Could not find file "C:\NANT\properties.xml". init: debug: set-runtime-configuration: set-net-1.1-runtime-configuration: set-runtime-configuration-flags: set-net-1.1-runtime-configuration: set-runtime-configuration-flags: BUILD FAILED C:\NANT\nantcontrib.Tasks-0.84\nantcontrib.build(39,14): The specified folder containing the NAnt build
(c:\cvs\nant\nant-0.84) does not exist. Note that in all cases, I always get both errors;
can’f find properties.xml; in fact, using windows search I cannot locate
this file in either nant directories, along with the actual “build
failed” message. In all cases the error messages include
“cvs” in the path. Shouldn’t the cvs be stripped out of the path when
looking for the nant build? Again, I’m very new to this. Thanks in advance
for any help. Lisa |
