NAnt supports non .NET builds just fine - the only caveat is that you may need to work a bit harder to get things done. Some data points for you ... 1) I'm currently using NAnt (at home) to compile Delphi 7 applications, pack those applications and support files into an NSIS installer and then create a ZIP distribution file. Only the ZIP stage has a dedicated NAnt task. 2) I also currently use Ant (NAnt's Java based cousin) to publish some websites using XSLT (ie not compiling any java code) 3) Some years ago, I used an earlier version of Ant to build an entire suite of Bespoke Delphi 5 applications - the build process included retrival of source code from QVCS, compiling 74 applications, archiving successfully built applications, creating an HTML log page on our intranet, and sending an email to whoever broke a build. None of these steps had native support in Ant. I'd suggest that NAnt *can* make your builds work, and work well. Keep Smiling, Bevan. ****************************************************************************** "This message (and any files transmitted with it) are confidential and may be legally privileged.
