Re: [Nant-users] using pkg-config::get-link-flags in task

ick -- I think that automatically quoting the values of <arg> elements is being a bit too clever. I've made a change so that it will only happen if those values are file paths. That change should come thru in the next nightly build.

Gert has also done some work integrating package references directly into the compiler tasks. Its disabled for now as there was some pending discussion on how to proceed with it. To enable it just uncomment line 249 of compilerbase.cs //[BuildElement("pkg-references")] and you should be able to use pkg references directly.

Hi Ian,

Unfortunately, your workaround doesn't seem to work. When i add this:

        <arg value="${gtk-sharp.libs}"/>

The gtk-sharp references get added as a string (surrounded with double
quotes). The double quotes prevent mcs from interpreting it correctly:

[csc] Starting '/home/jeroen/built/bin/mono ("/home/jeroen/built/lib/
mono/1.0/mcs.exe" @"/tmp/tmp4d323b31" "-r:/home/jeroen/built/lib/mono/

built/lib/mono/gtk-sharp/gtk-sharp.dll  " -r:log4net.dll)' in '/home/
jeroen/Projects/monodevelop/src/Plugins/Node'

error CS0006: Cannot find assembly `/home/jeroen/built/lib/mono/gtk-

home/jeroen/built/lib/mono/gtk-sharp/gdk-sharp.dll -r:/home/jeroen/

If i remove the quotes around the pkg-config statement, mcs works fine.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks,

Jeroen

I'm trying to write a nant buildfile for a Mono application which uses
Gtk#. I'm already using the pkg-config functions in nant to check for
the package and to get the link flags (pkg-config --libs gtk-sharp).

However, when i try to use that result to pass it along in a <csc> task,
it won't work since the link flags already contain the "-r:" parameter
which nant wants to add by itself. Here's the task i currently have:

<property name="gtk-sharp.libs" value="${pkg-config::get-link-flags
('gtk-sharp')}"/>

<csc target="library" output="${plugin.dir}/node.dll" debug="${build.
debug}">
          <sources>
              <include name="*.cs"/>
          </sources>
          <references basedir="${build.dir}">
              <include name="bin/monodevelop.exe"/>
              <include name="${gtk-sharp.libs}/>
          </references>
      </csc>

This is what pkg-config returns:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] generated]$ pkg-config --libs gtk-sharp
-r:/home/jeroen/built/lib/mono/gtk-sharp/glib-sharp.dll -r:/home/jeroen/
built/lib/mono/gtk-sharp/pango-sharp.dll -r:/home/jeroen/built/lib/mono/
gtk-sharp/atk-sharp.dll -r:/home/jeroen/built/lib/mono/gtk-sharp/gdk-
sharp.dll -r:/home/jeroen/built/lib/mono/gtk-sharp/gtk-sharp.dll

So am i using nant correctly here and is this a bug i'm encountering? If
so, can this be fixed soon or is there a workaround?

the workaround is to use an <arg> child element to pass the gtk-sharp.libs and don't add it to the references fileset.
