Turns out the problem was not a NAnt problem. Someone had created a second project by copying the first .csproj file and renaming it. As a result, both project files had the same project GUID. Because one project referenced the other, NAnt thought that the project was referencing itself.
I'm guessing that VS.NET didn't have a problem with it because it uses the project names to track dependencies while NAnt uses the project GUIDs. -----Original Message----- From: Gert Driesen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 13, 2006 11:44 AM To: Craig Wagner; nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [NAnt-users] Circular reference to <project> detected in project <project> Hi Craig, Are you using a recent version of NAnt ?
