[Nant-users] task fails (resgen.exe) in called buildfile (targeting framework 1.0)

[Evan Levy]

Here's a weird one.  I had this working this way:

 

mainbuildfile contains:

<nant buildfile="otherbuildfile.xml" target="default" />

 

Other buildfile contains:

<property name="nant.settings.currentframework" value="net-1.0" />

<solution solutionfile="${sourcefolder}\${solutionfile}" configuration="release" />

 

This does not work when mainbuildfile is executed.  I get:

 

build:
           
                 [echo] 12/16/2004 10:52:29 Building assembly...
             [solution] Starting solution build.
             [solution] Building 'MySolution'[release] ...
                           [resgen] error: Invalid ResX input.
                           [resgen] 1 error(s).
            
            BUILD FAILED - 0 non-fatal error(s), 2 warning(s)
           
            External Program Failed: C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\FrameworkSDK\bin\resgen.exe (return code was -1163019603)

 

Funny thing is, the build DOES work if I execute otherbuildfile directly, not called via <nant> from mainbuildfile.

Also, the build DOES work executing the mainbuildfile if <property name="nant.settings.currentframework" value="net-1.0" /> is omitted in otherbuildfile.
