Yeah, this is one of the things I want to address pretty soon. The copy of nmake that I use should be located in the link provided below: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q132084
It's the link called nmake15.exe. You could also try installing gmake from here: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm but my experience is that the nmake runs better on Windows but your milage may very. > The reason I want to build nant it so upgrade to nunit 2.5.10 as the current > version cannot handle a lot of nice additions like the TestCase attribute. This is a high priority for us too. I've read upon here that some folks will use the <exec> task to run nunit outside of the nant tasks just for 2.5.10. If that'll work for you in the time being, you won't need to compile nant manually. Hope this helps.
