I wonder if Ant also does not require to bootstrap the version of Ant that
you want to build.

I don't think it's necessary to ensure NAnt can be built using a previous
release, if such a bootstrap procedure is in place.

Nevertheless, I have no problem undoing that commit. It's your call.

I'm a very sick man.  Went ahead and installed MonoFramework-1.2.3.1

should be a start.


1. Download Mono 1.2.3.1_0 Framework - Universal (Stable) from http://

2. Install framework

3. Modify /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/1.2.3.1/bin/nant

Mono comes with a prebuilt NAnt 0.85, but on Mac OS/X, it needs to  
have the export PKG_CONFIG_PATH statement added to the nant file.


#!/bin/sh
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/

/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/1.2.3.1/lib/

See http://www.bleepsoft.com/tyler/index.php?itemid=82 and http:// 
bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=79671.  Bug should be fixed in  
next release of Mono.


At this point, you should have a usable NAnt 0.85 and all the Mono  
compilers on the execute path.  If you check out NAnt from the source  
code repository, you can successfully do:


nant build

However, if you try to do "nant" or "nant test", you will get a  
failure that  doesn't support the managed attribute.  It  
appears that the build file for NAnt requires features that are not  
in NAnt 0.85.  Removing the managed="true" replaces that error with  
another when it tries to run the generated nant.exe as a Mac OS/X  
executable.


I'd recommend, update Mono on Clarus and changing the NAnt gump  
descriptor to run "nant build" for now.  I'd recommend adding a  
"gump" target to NAnt.build in the NAnt CVS and then changing the  
NAnt gump descriptor to run that.


NAnt uses log4net which uses NAnt, so we have a little cyclical  
dependency.  Ideally, we would get Gump to build NAnt with its  
embedded log4net using the framework NAnt, use the built NAnt to  
build log4net and then build NAnt again using the previously built  
NAnt and log4net.  One step at a time however.

I'm guessing that it would either

know of a later version of Mono that NAnt does build on?  Updating
the Mono version seems to be the right direction as I'm guessing .NET
1 is slowly fading (though I'm not in that world very much).


Problem is that Mono's C# compiler has become more (and in some  
cases too)

strict.

Since we always compile NAnt with /warnaserror (to ensure we have  
clean
code), you'll also get a build failure with the 0.85 release on  
very recent
versions of Mono.  The "issue" that the newer compiler reports is  
fixed in

CVS though.

I'm not sure what the best way of fixing this is. I was considering
releasing a new (beta) version of NAnt anyway, but then again I  
think you

guys want official releases only.

So either:

* you update Mono to a release that does not yet contain this extra  
strict

compiler behavior (1.2.0 or 1.2.1 should be ok)
* I provide you with a build script patch that causes the /warnaserror
option not be set
* I release a new (beta) version of NAnt for you to use

I wish there were other (better) options, but I can't think of any  
right
now.  Perhaps we should stop treating warnings as error when  
compiling NAnt.

It keeps code clean, but also leads to issues like this one here.



Looking at the message in the Claris log (and not having tried to  
build on Mono or checking the Mono revision history), the problem  
does not appear to be the compiler, but that the framework is missing  
a method that should have been in NET 2.0.  The failure message is:


 [csc] /Volumes/X1/home/sctemme/work/workspace/nant/ 
src/NAnt.VSNet/WrapperReferenceBase.cs(358,20): error CS1502: The  
best overloaded method match for  
`System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetTypeLibName

arguments
  [csc] /Volumes/X1/home/sctemme/work/workspace/nant/ 
src/NAnt.VSNet/WrapperReferenceBase.cs(358,20): error CS1503:  
Argument 1: Cannot convert from  
`System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes.ITypeLib' to  
`System.Runtime.InteropServices.UCOMITypeLib'

  [csc] Compilation failed: 2 error(s), 0 warnings

The corresponding code is:

  357 #if NET_2_0
  358 return Marshal.GetTypeLibName((ITypeLib) typeLib);
  359 #else
  360 return Marshal.GetTypeLibName((UCOMITypeLib)  
typeLib);

  361 #endif

The interpretation I have of the failure is that NET_2_0 is true  
(hence line 358 appearing in the compiler error), however  
Marshal.GetTypeLibName(ITypeLib) which was introduced in .NET 2.0 is  
not available in the framework only the obsolete  
Marshal.GetTypeLibName(UCOMITypeLib).


Providing a pre-built NAnt is not the ideal solution.  It might be  
the best possible, but I'm not there yet.


From http://gump.apache.org:


Gump is unique in that it builds and compiles software against the  
latest development versions of those projects. This allows gump to  
detect potentially incompatible changes to that software just a few  
hours after those changes are checked into the version control  
system. Notifications are sent to the project team as soon as such  
a change is detected, referencing more detailed reports available  
online.


A large number of Java projects in Gump are built using Apache Ant.   
As Gump builds its projects, it does not use a released version of  
Ant but builds it from the current SVN repository.  If the Ant  
developers mess up something, it could cause 100s of other projects  
to fail their build.  Eventually, the problem would be traced back to  
a modification in the Ant code and the offending code would be  
reverted or corrected.  Since this is done shortly after the time  
that the change was committed and long before people would have  
become attached to the new behavior, it should be relatively painless  
to correct.  If Gump used only released versions of Ant, then a  
problem could exist in the Ant SVN for a long time before it was  
noticed, additional code might have been written that depended on the  
new behavior and it might be very complicated to unwind the problem.


Obviously, there is not the equivalent stack of .NET applications  
that depend on NAnt that are built by Gump.  But the potential is there.

That's right, I have a login for that too:

This one seems to be due to the broken mono install.

I am, but in this case there isn't much I can do. In NAnt 0.85, we
apparently use a method (when targeting .NET 2.0) that was not yet
implemented in Mono 1.13.2.

You either need a more recent version of Mono, or I could modify NAnt to
allow it to compile on that version of Mono. I don't know if you'd consider
using a nightly build (or any non-released version) of NAnt.

I would still be interested in getting the information I requested earlier
