Category: Tasks Group: 0.85 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Hani Atassi (haniatassi) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Solution task doesn't do COM, OCX apps built in VC++ Initial Comment: The solution task for VC++ apps, doesn't call the MIDL task to compile IDL files. In this way, you cannot build COM or OCX outputs using NAnt's solution task. The output of the MIDL is needed by the resource compiler when compiling the resource file. Refere to (Bug ID 1077712) for a fix to the resource problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Hani Atassi (haniatassi) Date: 2004-12-07 08:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=590187 Found some problems with the function BuildIDLFiles that is included with the previous file. I added comments on the logic.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Hani Atassi (haniatassi) Date: 2004-12-06 15:03 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=590187 Ok... There is actually quite a bit of changes to let the solution task compile COM and OCX project: 1- The solution task doesn't support MIDL, so I had to add code to call the MIDL task from the solution task. 2- If the output is OCX, the function IsOutputDll returns false, eventhough the OCX file is acually a DLL file. So, it should be changed to return true. 3- If the COM is built using MFC or DLL, you need to use the fix in bug ID 1078636. 4- Had to add a new function CreateMidlArgumentMap() to support mapping arguments of MIDL tool. 5- Dlldata inside MidlTask is declared as string. If it's a file, why it's not of type FileInfo!. 6- I added a new child for the MidlTask and called it Undefines. After the previous changes, the solution task worked perfectly and I could compile my old OCX projects that I built using MFC. The only wierd thing is that, some of the regular output messages from the MIDL tool are treated as Warnings... Attached are the changes... Hope this helps.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=402868&aid=1078641&group_id=31650 ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
