I'm pretty new to nant and have a question with regards to what I
consider the equivalent of a top-level makefile that descends down into
each subdirectory and builds the given target based on input to the
top-level build file.
In nant, I guess this looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<project name="Build all subdirs" default="build"
xmlnds="http://tempuri.org/nant-vs.xsd";>
<!-- compile Tutorials examples -->
<target name="build" description="All MK libraries" inheritall="true">
<nant target="${target::get-current-target()}">
<buildfiles>
<include name="**/default.build" />
<!-- exclude current build file -->
<exclude name="${project::get-buildfile-path()}" />
</buildfiles>
</nant>
</target>
</project>
If I type "nant" in a top level directory structure with a nant project
in each subdir, this works fine. What I would like however is to be able
to type "nant sometarget" and have the top-level nant file carry this
target over to the subdirs.
For instance "nant clean". It can easily be supported by duplicating the
"<target name=" part of the file with name="clean". But then I would
need a target section for each possible target, and this seems a bit
redundant.
I've tried setting "<target name="${target::get-current-target()}">, but
this does not work, even though it does work in the "nant target" part.
Any ideas on how I could accomplish this is a more elegant manner than
having a target section for each possible target in the toplevel build file?
Thanks,
Marius K.
