Actually, I'll speak up and request that we don't add paths at install. We should strive to be as "xcopy friendly" as possible requiring little to know installation. It's fine to have an installer to make it easier for newcomers, but we need to allow advanced usage. For example, at my company, we keep nant executables in our CVS repository along with our source code. This makes it so that we always have the version of nant that matches our build files and so that all developers have to do is a cvs checkout to have a completely functional development environment with nant ready to go.
The <solution> task is broken. It shouldn't need or use the path to find compilers. It should be looking at the configured framework and using that path just like the rest of the nant tasks do (<csc>, <vbc>, etc). I think I recall Ian saying he was going to fix this. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Welter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 2:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I created a batch file that set the path and it now works. thanks for your help. what all do I need in the path? the framework directory and the sdk directory? anything else? To the developers, I suggest creating an installer for NAnt to make it easier for newbies to get started. The installer could add the needed paths to the environment path. thanks again, Paul PS, love the new solution task, makes life alot easier. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean Rajotte" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Paul Welter'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 2:11 PM Subject: RE: [Nant-users] help with the solution task > it's probably choking on finding csc.exe or vbc.exe. it expects those > on the path. > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > > Paul Welter > > Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 14:26 > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: [Nant-users] help with the solution task > > > > > > I need some help with the solution task.
