I just wrote some code that determines the build order for a set of vb6 projects. It also outputs an nant script with a build target that builds in the correct order, and a clean target that unregisters the dll's in reverse build order.
So the nant scripts have no build order built in, just passes a list of projects that need to be built, and then the appropriate nant script gets generated, then executed. If you still need a solution I'll send you the code. I'm planning on creating an nant task (right now the code is just a class library) that uses this code so you can just call it all from my build script. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Can anyone think of an easy way round this?
