Just to clarify, do you mean third party stuff, or do you include things like NAnt itself, the compiler, etc. What do you do, for example, when it comes time to upgrade NAnt itself? How do you assure that you can still build old versions? > Any > assemblies/dlls/libraries that are > required are stored in a "references" folder along with the > source for the > solutions and are referenced from there by the vs project > files, and also > the NAnt build scripts. that way you can guarentee that you > are building > against the version you want to rather than whatever someone > has installed > on their machine. I'm not sure EXACTLY what you mean by a references folder... do you mean a mapped drive to a network drive or a folder in SourceSafe containing things or something else? > It also makes it easier to include the files in your install > set as you know > where to find them (I normally keep third party .msm's in > there too) and it > means you don't have any relience on every developer havng > the same hard > disk layout so that relative paths to c:\WINNT etc work correctly. This sounds very interesting. I'd like to know more about that. -Kelly E-Mail messages may contain viruses, worms, or other malicious code.
