Noel Thank you.
I'm looking forward to using your checklist, the first 4 steps are priceless, and very much needed. Adding that together with Troys comments about how to point NAnt at NAnt Contrib give us (what I think is) the start of a good user-smoke-test. Like I said, the first 4 steps are priceless. The rest is valuable also, however, the thing is, that I really don't want to debug NAnt and NAntContrib. I just want to be able to use them. To that end, I'm trying to put together some user documentation, so that: any given high school student who has access to a build script on a machine (with out dev tools) will be able to download and install NAnt, and NantContrib, download and install (or not) the .NET SDK Set up their environments and successfully build their install I figure that when 10 high school students in a row can run a build to success, then the document is done, and we will have produced a build tool that supports industry best practices, and that will be used in every fortune 500 company in world. (Are you thinking what I'm thinking Pinky?) Thanks Malcolm --- Noel Gifford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Malcolm or anyone else having questions about building, > > I hope this helps.
