Thanks Richard. Here's the modified solution I'm using (doesn't require the
extra rebuild.required property):
<uptodate property="project.uptodate">
<sourcefiles>
<include name="**/*.cs"/>
<include name="${project::get-buildfile-path()}"/>
</sourcefiles>
<targetfiles>
<include name="${build.output_dir}\${build.output_file}"/>
</targetfiles>
</uptodate>
<target name="build">
<mkdir dir="${build.output_dir}"/>
<csc target="library" output="${build.output_dir}\${build.output_file}"
debug="${build.debug}" define="${build.defines}" filealign="4096"
rebuild="${project.uptodate=='False'}">
<sources>
<include name="**/*.cs"/>
</sources>
<references>
<include name="${nant.dir}/bin/NAnt.Core.dll" />
</references>
</csc>
</target>
This will work fine for csc tasks in particular; I guess to make it generalized
for any task I could surround the task with an <if> task? Hope this helps
someone else.

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

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.
