RE: [Nant-users] Any good NANT build file generators for a .NET project or .NET So lution out there?

Title: Message

i'm not quite up on the latest slingshot.  it's a kettle of fish of its own.  i'd give the solution task a harder look if i were you, even if it means maintaining several solution files just for the sake of automation, if the one sln file the developers use is too weird for the <solution> task.  it's a lot cleaner in the end than slingshot, me thinks.  i've been out of the loop for a while.  others may know more here.

Jean,

 

Thanks  good stuff!

 

Yeah actually I am running V2003 and I had to recompile and fix a few things for my own use in both Draco.NET and CruseControl.NET to get them to work correctly with the new version of the CLR.

 

Yeah best would be the soultion. 

 

I have something like

 

Web

   -> Business Facade

   -> Data

   -> Data Access

   -> Data Manager

WebService

 

etc...

 

With lots of other little projects Ideally I just want to automate the builds process with continous integration.  

It looks like the SlingShot Utilty maybe the ticket.   I just worried about how the soultion file interegates each of it's associated project files...and in those project files I have a lot of dependcies and files.

 

I will give the slingshot task a shot....  Any good samples of this anywhere?

 

Thanks :)

 

Eric

do you mean from a .sln file and/or .csproj files?

 

- there's the <solution> task that does all the work but doesn't generate an output .build

- there's the slingshot task which wraps the slingshot utility which generates a .build from a sln.  it's fallen behind in terms of supporting 1.1 and VS.NET 2003, i think.  the source is in sourceforge.

- there're some xslt files that take  .??proj files and create .build files from them, i believe in nant-contrib on sourceforge.  i don't know how uptodate they are.

Hello,

 

I'm looking for a NANT build file generator....well something that will get me close.  I would then desire to modify the generated code to suit my needs.

Any tool like that exist?

 

Thanks,
