Line NN, position 2." An XML file may only contain a single top-level element - for nant, this is the <project> element. If you have two projects, you will need to store them in two build files - one project per file. > 1) How do I ensure that I build project A first since Project B is refering to Project A > (and so forth) I don't think there's any mechanism for describing dependencies between _projects_... Nant is designed around _target_-level dependencies. > 2) Is nested calling of build files possible( buildfileA (of Project A) calls buildfileB > (of Project B))? The <nant> task will do this. See: http://nant.sourceforge.net/help/tasks/nant.html > 3) Any other alternative for achieving the same. If there is a strong coupling between the two projects, you could write a single build file that covers both projects, and describe each project in different targets. You could then ensure that project B's targets depend on project A's targets. Alternatively, you could have project A and B in separate build files, and put a target called 'dependency-test' in project B's build file. In this target, you could check for the outputs from project A... If these don't exist, then call project A's build file (using the nant task) to create them before continuing with the project B compile. > > Thanks > Sriram I hope this helps, -- Troy Disclaimer Message: This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the individual(s) named.
