Hi Eric,
you're right, you need to get the sources
from CVS. It's very easy.
Here I've provided you with some
instructions for compiling NAnt from CVS.
Hope it helps,
Jarek
P.S. As I've written, this may or may not solve the mentioned
problem.
HOW TO COMPILE NAnt FROM CVS
(for newbies)
1. What you need
================
Please note, that if you're behid a
firewall outgoing port 2401 must be open.
2. Getting the sources
=======================
The following commands should be done only
once, to get the initial copy of nant. Be aware that anonymous cvs server on
sourceforge is under very heavy load and you may encounter connection drops.
Just retry after some delay.
2.1. Checking out the sources (the GUI way)
===========================================
Using Tortoise CVS, enter the Windows
folder where you want NAnt sources stored, right click, choose "CVS Checkout"
and paste the following into CVSROOT field:
:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/nant
then enter "nant" into "Module" field. Then
click "OK". If it asks you for a password, hit enter (the password is
empty).
2.2. Checking out the sources (the hard
way)
============================================
If you have command line cvs client execute
the following:
cvs -z3 -d
:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/nant login
It will prompt you for the password, since
there's no
password required, just hit enter.
cvs z3 -d
:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/nant checkout nant
It will get the newest sources and store them in
"nant" directory on your hard drive.
3. Building NAnt
================
Enter the "nant" directory and run:
bin\nant release
for release build
or
bin\nant
for debug
build.
The output will be stored in appropriate
subdirectory of the "build" directory which will be created. Update
NAnt.exe.config there as necessary and your fresh NAnt.exe is ready to
go.
4. Updating the sources
=======================
Every time you want to get the fresh
sources and recompile, you simply enter the "nant" directory and
run:
cvs -z3 update
or using Tortoise CVS - simply right click,
the "CVS Update".
After which you recompile nant as described
above.

Jarek,
Can you expand on "just type 'nant release' and fresh nant will be
built"? It sounds like you don't have to get the source out of CVS
first. I haven't gotten that far yet, just keep waiting for the daily
builds to update. I would much rather be able to get the source myself
so I can start monkeying with it. If it's that easy, I won't sort
through all the verbiage on sourceforge...
Thanks,
Eric

Solution task has been recently fixed in CVS, maybe this
will fix your
problem.
Using nant from CVS I'm able to build a
quite complex (8 interdependent
projects) solution, but it's C#
only.
