Bill,
Can't you use the refid? You are creating a fileset with an id (<fileset id="OBJS">), and you can refer to that anywhere else by using:
<fileset refid="OBJS" />
Which you can wrap in an <uptodate> task. Alternatively, you could easily knock up a bit of script to create a function that will convert the fileset to a string. I think someone posted an example a few months back if you search the mail archives.
HTH,
Bill

To: <Nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net> cc: Subject: [Nant-users] Property from fileset or vice versa? |
Is there any way to create a property whose value is the list of resolved
files in a fileset, or failing that to create a fileset from a property?
What am I trying to do? I am trying to write a build file for a WiX project
that lists the source/target files only once and has source file/obj file
dependency checking. Here is my current build file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="Dahmer" xmlns="http://nant.sf.net/release/0.85-rc3/nant.xsd"
default="all">
<property name="SOURCES" value="videopro.wxs SharedComponents.wxs
Graphs.wxs"/>
<property name="WIXOBJS" value="videopro.wixobj SharedComponents.wixobj
Graphs.wixobj" />
<property name="MSI" value="VideoPro.msi" />
<fileset id="OBJS">
<include name="*.wixobj"/>
</fileset>
<target name="all" depends="compile"/>
<target name="compile" depends="">
<exec program="candle" commandline="${SOURCES}"/>
<exec program="light" commandline="${WIXOBJS} -out ${MSI}"/>
</target>
</project>
This works fine, but there is no file dependency checking. How can I add
file dependency checking without adding the file names to multiple places in
the build file?
If I could create a fileset given a property, I could use the up-to-date
task for that. Or, if I could create property from a fileset, the SOURCES
property could be created from a fileset.
In the old days of MAKE we could do something like (ignoring inference
rules):
SOURCES=a.wxs b.wxs c.wxs
WIXOBJS=a.wixobj b.wixobj c.wixobj
VideoPro.msi : ${WIXOBJS}
light ${WIXOBJS} -out VideoPro.msi
a.wxs : a.wixobj
candle a.wxs
b.wxs : b.wixobj
candle b.wxs
c.wxs : c.wixobj
candle c.wxs
How do we do that with Nant?
