The reason for my previous post was to show the steps to build both the nant and nantcontrib projects. I set up a batch file in the nantcontrib directory to do the build and then copy the assemblies to the appropriate nant directory.
I have no background as to the reasons behind the current build process. I looked back at your previous posts. Are you trying to just install nant and nantcontrib or do you also want to build them? The instructions I gave were for building and debugging the projects. nant.dir references the root directory containing the NAnt build. The nantcontrib.build file appends the Bin directory to it for referencing NAnt assemblies. Did you build NAnt first? If so, then you should point the nant.dir property to the root build directory. For me, that would be -D:nant.dir=..\nant-0.85-20040722\build\net-1.1.win32\nant-0.85-debug Noel -----Original Message----- From: Malcolm MacLucas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2004 11:28 AM To: Gifford, Noel; Noel Gifford; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Nant-users] 0.85 release candidate by August 4th Thanks for your patience. It's still not working for me inside of my build.bat file is ****begin file nant /f:nantcontrib.build -D:nant.dir=..\nant\bin ****end file I tried the -D option with ..\nant and ..\nant\bin. I have the nant\bin directory in my path, so that works fine. Is there a reason we are not making the assumption that the environment is set up as such \parent_dir \nant \nantcontrib and if they don't have their environment setup this way *then* the user needs to put all the paths in?
