RE: [Nant-users] The solution task fails

[Felice Vittoria]

Shirome,   Is there a reason why you are using NAnt 0.8.3?   Is it possible for you to use the latest nightly build (which is NAnt 0.85 - Sept 20, 2004 )?   If not, could you try it with NAnt 0.84?    Felice -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Shirome Mahendranathan Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2004 8:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Nant-users] The solution task fails Hi I am creating a very basic build file to compile a very simple MFC application (C++ application). I can compile this code using Visual studio .net with out any problem. I am using the "Nant" build (nant-0.8.3.zip) What I am missing here? Do I need to set any other environment variables? Please help me Thanks in advance.
