Hello,
We've got the following lines in our build file and it works fine, no
requirement to have VS.NET 2003 running at the same time.
<if test="${project.config == 'release'}">
<exec program="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\PreEmptive Solutions\Dotfuscator Community Edition\dotfuscator">
<arg value="PRODUCT_obfuscated.xml" />
</exec>
</if>
I hope this helps.
Robert Sanders

thanks for the response.
Yes, the project does compile fine in VS. What I meant regarding hte
.sln files is that (I'm new to VS so I'm not too good with the
terminology yet) when I build the Source.sln in VS, I can see it calling and
building all these sub-projects in the output window on the bottom of hte
screen, like Mathlib and such. For instance, there's a ScenarioBuilder
folder in the same directory as Source.sln, and for a build of
Source.sln I need to get it (scenariobuilder) cleaned and compiled. Do I
include "ScenarioBuilder\Scenario.vcproj" in a "<projects>" tag within
"<solution>" or will the solution task automatically see the dependency and
do it for me. Without any project or referencs tags, my build file is
loading all the required *.vcproj's that I need, but since my build is
crashing I'm not sure if i have to include something else as well...
I'm doing what you suggested and using the <delete> to clean my output
files. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. thanks.

Hi, Pat
What exactly do you mean when you say that your Source.sln project
requires the others? Do you mean that you selected the other .sln files as
references? In this case VS just looks at the .sln you've selected and
creates references to the projects, meaning the <solution> task will
know how to build them. If, however, it's some funky dependency that's
not recognised in the .sln, then you'll need a separate <solution> task
for each one. Whether you want a separate build file for each one
under that circumstance is up to you - NAnt handles multiple <solution>
tasks with no problem, but this is not always good practice.
The best way of doing a clean, I've found, is using the <delete> task.
The good thing is this also handles any confusion that the SCM system
has over file status (we use StarTeam which has been known to get in a
bit of a muddle over that, the poor thing). Just deleting all the files
from your build folder will just mean everything is starting from the
same point each build - a good thing, IMHO.
As for your linking problem, I don't know. Does it compile in VS.NET?
If so it may be a bug in NAnt. It looks like VC++ to me, which I
generally avoid like a thing to be actively avoided. Saying "avoid like the
plague" somehow doesn't quite describe it. ;)

Subject: [Nant-users] Obfuscation and NAnt
Hi,
I'm after a good obfuscator for .NET that has the following features:
- FREE, or very, very cheap.
- can handle a lot of interdependent assemblies in one operation.
- can take assembly details from a wildcard or from an xml file. (I don't
want to have to pass 50-odd arguments on the command line).
- doesn't take a million years to run
- can be run from the command line (I want to call it from my NAnt
build)
Preferably, it'll also have some of these features:
- control flow obfuscation
- cross-assembly obfuscation
I've tried a few, but none really fit these requirements. Dotfuscator
Community Edition needs Visual Studio to be open when it runs, and the full
editions are too expensive (that also goes for Salamander). Aspose doesn't
really have a command line interface as far as I can see, and the free QND
one can only do one file at a time (and dependent assemblies fail to load
because they can't find the types they need in order to work).
The best I've come up with so far is to run devenv.exe during my build and
then use the Dotfuscator Community Edition. Horrible, absolutely horrible,
but what can you do?
Does anyone have a better alternative?
Thanks!

May be a problem in NAnt then. I don't know that much about VC++.NET so I'm
probably not going to be much help here.
Do you set any special options such as output folder?

The solution task should just be able work out what the projects are from
the .sln - you shouldn't need to set any <projects> elements in it. By
default, it will compile all projects for a particular solution (if there
have been changes).

Glad that's working for you. :)

Subject: [Nant-users] depends using a property
--=-hlNGOxypUWSn/2QNsfGD
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Is it possible to have a depends clause in a target that uses a property? In
other words,
<target name=3D"A"/>
<target name=3D"B"/>
<property name=3D"target" value=3D"B"/>
<target name=3D"C" depends=3D"${target}"/>
Whenever I do this, any attempt to build results in an error saying the
property ${target} had not been set. However, it's set to a default in the
top level of the build file (other targets change it).
The reason I want to do this is because I want a release and debug target to
both depend on the same build target, but modify the build parameters
slightly. The build target can't execute unless one of those has been run,
and other targets depend on the build target.
Right now I'm just putting a <call> at the beginning of the build target,
but this is sort of a dirty hack, and messes with the order of output when
nant runs.
