RE: [nant-dev] Re: Continuing work on msbuild-solution
Brass, please, do not blame me. You could have solutions, but I wrote about __set of projects__. Thats is different beast. See mine previous example or just simple solution projects include name=**/*.csproj/ /projects /solution There is no (simple) way how to do this in msbuild (with correct build order etc.) If you do not need this feature and are satisfied with simple exec program=msbuild.exe/, ok. But others have different needs. As I don't use nunit task but execing nunit-console.exe. And I do not blame nunit authors that their task is not usable. It is in some cases. Maybe not in mine, but they certainly helped many other users with unit testing. As well as I hope msbuild-* tasks would help with msbuild integration. If not, I'd simply wrote mine own NAnt and do not share with others.

Re: [nant-dev] Re: Continuing work on msbuild-solution
Hi, As Brass wrote, there usually is not a problem even with execing msbuild.exe. Despite it's not much elegant, there are some caveats. From my point of view execing is not very handy and results in confusing build scripts. Thats why I created msbuild-solution. There is also simple msbuild task, which is not much more that exec above msbuild.exe. I tried msbuild-solution, but I couldn't get it working until I tried it again now. So I'll give either msbuild-solution or msbuild a try in our build environment Currently we are building our VS2003 projects through solution solutionfile=foo.sln . The dependencies are resolved manually due the order in the main build file. exec is only used where necessary, e.g. Installer I hope to get a working solution for our environment.

Re: [nant-dev] Re: Continuing work on msbuild-solution
I'm interested in a solution to build our VS 2005 solutions with msbuild called from nant. Either as solution or (if necesarry) the separate projects with msbuild. We've had good success just using MSBuild from an exec / task for both solutions and single projects. I've heard from some on this list and the CC.NET list that they've had problems, but we haven't encountered any so far. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
