Are any of the projects dependent on another project?  Do you have this 
specified in the solution file?  I have never used this tag, as my projects 
usually involve web sites and desktop applications.  You might want to use 
something along these lines.

<solution configuration="release">
    <projects>
        <include name="A\A.csproj" />
        <include name="B\b.vbproj" />
        <include name="C\c.csproj" />
    </projects>
    <referenceprojects>
        <include name="X\x.csproj" />
    </referenceprojects>
</solution>

If the solution is newer than VS2003, then you will need to use the MSBuild 
task from NAnt contrib.  (Which is the one I usually use)

Subject: [NAnt-users] Solution format of file is not supported.

I recently had a friend recommend NAnt to me.  The project I am working on has 
10 different solutions to it, and each solution usually has multiple projects 
within that will output dll files for the final solution to use.  I have a very 
simple .build file right now:

<project name="Solution Build Example" default="rebuild">
    <property name="configuration" value="release"/>
    
    <target name="clean" description="Delete all previously compiled binaries.">
        <delete>
            <fileset>
                <include name="**/bin/**" />
                <include name="**/obj/**" />
            </fileset>
        </delete>
    </target>
    
    <target name="build" description="Build all targets.">
       <call target="build.FACCBase"/>
    </target>
    
    <target name="rebuild" depends="clean, build" />

    <target name="build.FACCBase">
        <solution configuration="${configuration}" solutionfile="FACCBase.sln">
        </solution>
    </target>
    
</project>

The clean part is working fine, however when I get to the build portion I get 
errors:

Solution format of file 'C:\TESTTFS\FACCBase\FACCBase.sln' is not supported.

I am sure that you all will need more information to help me, so if you tell me 
what I am missing to get this working I will provide as much as I can.  The 
solution in question has 8 projects and an active config of Debug|Any CPU

Thanks.
