The base directory of the project is available in NAnt how you
get at it depends on the version of NAnt for older versions (0.84) there
is a property nant.project.basedir that will have the value in it. In
0.85 this property has been depreciated in favor of the function
project::get-base-directory() to access the project base.
NAnt is based on Ant it's not a direct port. There Ant features
that NAnt doesn't have but there also a number of features that are
unique to NAnt. It would be a good idea to check out the manual so that
you don't get caught by the differences. In any event if you'd like to
keep scripts consistent and use a property basedir for the project base
I would add a property declaration something like the following:
<property name="basedir" value="${project::get-base-directory()} />
