could you post the errors you are getting building NAntContrib. Its working fine for me. One caveat you need to build against the 0.83rc NAnt branch using somthing like:
f:\cvs\nantcontrib>nant -D:nant.dir="f:\install\nant-0.8.3-rc3"
where there is a build directory under nant-0.8.3-rc3. Note that I've just release an rc for 0.8.3 that actually builds cleanly.
NAntContrib does not build against the current nant cvs. Somthing that I will rectify shortly.

Not wanting to turn this into a NAnt RAnt :)
But I have never been able to download NAntContrib and just build it! Somehow I find it a little bit ironic that a tool to manage builds should be so difficult to build. I have the feeling that once they get their environment set up, the people putting together the download don't follow the instructions and do it from scratch to see how well it works. And yes... I really need it to work with 1.1 and sometimes 1.0.
But even with all that said... I'm very grateful for the efforts that have
produced NAnt and NAntContrib for basically free!
Thanks,
Cash

Subject: [Nant-users] nant / nant-contrib issues
hi yall,
IMHO....
since nant's namespace was restructured , the usability and extensibility via nant-contrib has suffered enormously, it seems to me. it's very hard to get a good binary image working across .NET 1.0 and 1.1. And it's hard to get a matching source image including nant-contrib and nant -- they're both important.
it seems the current structure is as follows, which i believe is problematic:
nant source produces daily nant bin, which is available w/ some arbitrary nant-contrib bin. nant-contrib source is available on its own. building it depends on some arbitrary nant bin.
i may not have gotten the above exactly, but it seems to me nonetheless that the package visibility is backwards. what would make sense to me would be the following:
nant-contrib depends on nant. nothing else. how to do this?
when someone changes nant, they should somehow make sure they didn't break nant-contrib. when someone gets nant (source/bin), they only get nant (because they're not dependent on nant-contrib) when someone gets nant-contrib (source/bin), they get both the latest nant-contrib and the latest nant (source/bin) because they work together.
?
