Brian, The answer to your question is "it depends":
As NAnt is evolving pretty fast, it might be reasonable to put the NAnt binaries in your project directory structure. Some OSS projects (SharpDevelop, I think) do it. This ensures build consistency. I usually have the following project structure: /src/ - sources are located here /bin/ - binaries go here /tools/ - build tools go here /tools/nant/bin/ - NAnt binaries go here /tools/nant/doc/ - NAnt documentation goes here ./project.build - this is the master build file with global targets nant.bat - this batch file invokes "tools\nant\bin\nant.exe" on "project.build" This way my project team members always have the correct nant setting. Some of them add "/tools/nant/bin" to their PATH variable which enables them to do "nant -find" when inside "src/" directory. Whenever there's a new nant release, I go and test it on our build scripts. If it works and we need some of it's features I commit it to SVN repository. This way all team members have a consistent build environment.
