Malcolm or anyone else having questions about building, I hope this helps. I do the following:
1) Install the NAnt zip into directory ( C:\Projects\NAnt-0.85-20040722 ) 2) Install the NAntContrib zip into directory ( C:\Projects\NAntContrib-0.85-20040723 ) 3) Build the NAnt by going to its directory and running ( bin\nant ) 4) Build the NAntContrib by going to its directory and running a batch file ( Build.bat) 5) Open NAnt.Sln in Visual Studio 6) In Solution Explorer, right click on the solution node and select "Add" and "Existing Project" from the menu 7) Select nantcontrib.csproj from the NAntContrib-0.85-20040723\Src directory 8) Open the Properties dialog for the NAnt.Console project 9) Select Configuration Properties \ Debugging 10) Change Debug mode to Program and press Apply 11) Change the Start Application to C:\Projects\NAnt-0.85-20040722\build\net-1.1.win32\nant-0.85-debug\bin\NAnt. exe 12) Set the Working Directory and any Command Line Arguments needed 13) Set your breakpoints and press F5 to debug 14) Press Yes to Continue when informed that there are build errors (you're not building within VS, only debugging) I can now use Visual Studio to debug both NAnt and NAntContrib Build.bat contains the following lines ..\NAnt-0.85-20040722\bin\nant /f:nantcontrib.build -D:nant.dir=..\nant-0.85-20040722 copy build\nantcontrib-0.85-debug\bin ..\nant-0.85-20040722\build\net-1.1.win32\nant-0.85-debug\bin Noel -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Malcolm MacLucas Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 12:43 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Nant-users] 0.85 release candidate by August 4th Ok first, I a mistake in my original post, there is no 7-23 build of nant, there is a 7-22 build, that's the one I used. I used the 7-23 build of NAnt Contrib. I installed it into the previously mentioned program files\nant directory and the I ran the NantContrib.build nant -buildfile:NAntContrib.build It seemed to blow up on the first test. Here's my error Build Failed C:\Program Files\NAnt\NAntContrib.build(35,14): Please pass the folder containing the NAnt build on the commandline as a property (-D:nant.dir=???). So I sent this command nant -buildfile:NAntContrib.build -D:nant.dir=bin This time I got further Build Failed C:\Program Files\NAnt\NAntContrib.build(100,10): External Program Failed: C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\csc.exe (return code was 1) I'm not sure what I need to do with this, my path has the NAnt Bin directory in it, so I'm not sure what I need to do about the first problem. I should probably be passing this to the NAnt Contrib list shouldn't I?
