I think this November 14 message would have
arrived quicker if you sent by regular posted mail
Personally I come from the
J2EE ANT world where I have a tendency to think conventional ANT before
N-ANT
<PardonThePun>
Thanks for the
uptodate
</PardonThePun>
Happy Thanksgiving to All

Simpler that this, there is an
<uptodate> task in NAnt thae will validate if any of the files in one
fileset are newer that those in another fileset and set a property to true if
they are. you can then use this in the "if" attribute in
<vbc>/<csc>.
As for
the suggestion of including your project files in one master file, this is not
trivial. If like me all your project build scripts have the same
structure with multiple targets, you will hit problems importing them as you
will have duplicate definitions of the targets.
You could fix this by having separate namespaces for
each project file, but then if you put everything in the NAnt namespace by
default (to get intellisense in VS) then this will break.
You simplest solution will therefore probably be to use
<uptodate>
HTH,
Bill

Good Morning Matt
This will execute the tasks in the
target ONLY IF the library out.dll is older than 24 hours
<target name="build-module-A"
if="${datetime::now() - file::get-last-write-time('out.dll')) > timespan::from-hours(24)}">
...
</target>
Cheers from across the
pond,

Guys,
I've
sent this issue to Gerry Shaw however he isn't too sure of the problem and
suggested I ask for more help from you guys.
We have a large build file
attached which calls a large number of other build files for about 100
different projects. Were finding that some projects are being re built for
every project which references them. I have attached the main build file +
another one which is referenced from this.
Gerry mentioned the issue
could be
"The problem is that you are building your components by calling
the <nant> task. This is effectively running a new
process of nant.exe on the build file. The new process
of nant doesn't know what assemblies have already been called so
it will end up rebuilding them.
Solution, don't use the
<nant> task. Instead include all the files into this single master
build file and then <call> the
task that was in that
build file"
However I don't understand how to restructure the file here
to do this. Each target is called in another file e.g. the project
Tranmit.Common.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Matt
