RE: [Nant-users] .NET SDK Requirements

Title: Message

I am fairly sure the .NET framework does not include vb.net, c#, etc compilers, resource file compilers, etc, etc. You need to install the framework sdk to get these.

 

I wouldn't have thought you would need the .Net framework on production servers unless you are running ASP.NET application. There shouldn't really be any reason for having .NET sdk on production servers. Maybe you should look at a build server which then copies compiled binaries across to your QA, UAT, and production servers, etc. Or modify your build scripts to have targets for copying files across to various servers.

Subject: [Nant-users] .NET SDK Requirements

Hello,

 

I'm trying to install and run NAnt on our various QA, UAT and PRD servers and have come across a problem that I did not have on my local machine.  When I run NAnt on my build script locally it works fine.  When I run it on one of the server machines I get the following error:

 

BUILD FAILED

 

The SDK for the 'net-1.1' framework is not available or not configured.

OK, so obviously this is coming up because neither Visual Studio nor the .NET SDK have been installed on the servers.  The problem is, my company does not permit me to install the .NET SDK on production servers, probably with good reason given the security hazards it can introduce.  It looks like MS does not recommend this practice either.  Fair enough.

 

So what is the recommended approach here?  I would think given the tasks I am using (I'll lay them out in a little bit), that I'd only be required to have the framework installed, but it looks like this is not the case.  Is there a particular task I am using that's pushing this requirement?  Maybe I can eliminate it for now.

 

Here are the tasks that I'm using:

<property/>

<if/>

<ifnot/>

<mkdir/>

<vbc><imports/><sources/><resources/><references/></vbc>

<copy/>

<foreach/>

If needed, I can include my full build file.

 

Many thanks in advance...
