[Nant-users] Problem with missing assembly references when using

[Peter Fries]

Hi there, I'm new to nant and am having trouble when referencing .dlls of my own (as opposed to framework .dlls). I retrieve files from two VSS projects, one for my supporting libraries and one for a web application that uses those libs. I save the code files to two directories and create a bin folder under the web application directory. I'm using nant 0.84 (stable) as I keep getting task load errors with 0.85 (nightly).   I try to run the following build segment: <target name="Build" depends="StartLog" description="Performs a complete build of all source code"> <!--Building Util--> <echo message="Building Util using &lt;csc&gt;" /> <csc output="${sys.websourcepath}\bin\Util.dll" target="library" debug="${sys.debug}" rebuild="true"> <sources> <includes name="${sys.libsourcepath}\Util\*.cs" /> </sources> <references> <include name="System.dll" /> <include name="System.Data.dll" /> <include name="System.Drawing.dll" /> <include name="System.Web.dll" /> <include name="System.XML.dll" /> </references> </csc> <echo message="Building Data.dll using &lt;csc&gt;" /> <csc output="${sys.websourcepath}\bin\Data.dll" target="library" debug="${sys.debug}" rebuild="true"> <sources> <includes name="${sys.libsourcepath}\Data\*.cs" /> </sources> <references> <include name="System.dll" /> <include name="System.Data.dll" /> <include name="System.XML.dll" /> </references> </csc> <echo message="Building Prz.dll using &lt;csc&gt;" /> <csc output="${sys.libsourcepath}\bin\Prz.dll" target="library" debug="${sys.debug}"> <references basedir="${sys.websourcepath}\bin"> <include name="Data.dll" /> <include name="System.dll" /> <include name="System.Data.dll" /> <include name="System.Web.dll" /> <include name="System.XML.dll" /> <include name="Util.dll" /> </references> <sources> <includes name="${sys.libsourcepath}\Prezza\*.cs" /> </sources> </csc> <call target="EndLog" /> </target> As you can see, I'm trying to output the built assemblies to the \bin directory of my web application. It works for the first two but when it hits the third, I get assembly reference errors (CS0234). The only difference I can tell is that I am now trying to reference the newly built libraries Data.dll and Util.dll. Am I misunderstanding the proper use of <references>? Thanks for any help you all can offer! Peter
