RE: [Nant-users] How can I create a dependency on the .build file itself?

[Foster, Richard - PAL]

Parag,   No doubt someone else has already responded... in which case I hope you haven't been swamped by the response!   You might want to use the uptodate task to set a property which then causes a rebuild. (NOTE: Since the uptodate task sets the property to false when we want to force a rebuild an extra step was needed. A logical "not" operation would be really helpful here, but doesn't appear to exist.)       <target name="build" description="Build the SlickEdit.Build.Tasks.dll">         <mkdir dir="${build.output_dir}"/>         <uptodate property="uptodate">             <sourcefiles>                 <include name="MyNAntExtensions.build" />             </sourcefiles>             <targetfiles>                 <include name="${build.output_dir}\${build.output_file}" />             </targetfiles>         </uptodate>         <property name="rebuild.required" value="false" />         <property name="rebuild.required" value="true" unless="${uptodate}"/>         <csc target="library" output="${build.output_dir}\${build.output_file}" debug="${build.debug}" define="${build.defines}" filealign="4096" rebuild="${rebuild.required}>             <sources>                 <include name="**/*.cs"/>             </sources>             <references>                 <include name="${nant.dir}/bin/NAnt.Core.dll" />             </references>         </csc>     </target>   Hope this helps,   Regards, Richard From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Parag Chandra Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 09:26 To: nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nant-users] How can I create a dependency on the .build file itself? Hello,   I have a target defined in a MyNAntExtensions.build file, like this:       <target name="build" description="Build the SlickEdit.Build.Tasks.dll">         <mkdir dir="${build.output_dir}"/>         <csc target="library" output="${build.output_dir}\${build.output_file}" debug="${build.debug}" define="${build.defines}" filealign="4096">             <sources>                 <include name="**/*.cs"/>             </sources>             <references>                 <include name="${nant.dir}/bin/NAnt.Core.dll" />             </references>         </csc>     </target>   The target runs whenever any of the .cs source files have changed, like I would expect. I would also like the target to run whenever the .build file itself has changed. Can someone please tell me how I could accomplish this? Thanks.   -Parag Chandra
