Hi there. I’m putting together my first attempt at a CI system and
NAnt build script to replace the VBscript at present. I’ve got one
question regarding compilation………….
Our mail solution is compiled at present using the ‘devenv’ exec at
the command line.
If I try to use the <solution> task in NAnt it complains about our
.csdproj projects in the solution not being supported.
Should I use the <exec> task and call devenv, or is there a more
elegant way using built in tasks?
I don't do PDA and similar development, so I can't say for sure, but I'm
surprised that NAnt can't handle this. Are you using a recent vesion of
NAnt?
In any event, my initial reaction is to use the <csc> tasks for the
compilation. It's conceivable that will be enough, but I just don't know
what's typically done for this sort of work. There are a number of other
NAnt tasks, as well as NAntContrib tasks that relate to other tools that
get invoked by Visual Studio. You may want to do a manual build inside
of the VS GUI and check the logs to see exactly what tools are invoked
in what order. If everything that VS does has a corresponding NAnt or
NAntContrib task, I'd go that way. But if there's something that can't
be done directly by a task, then I'd fall back on using an <exec> of
devenv. Of course, you might find that the former approach is too much
work, and simply use the latter approach.
