Here's a working example we use. Instead of using the msbuild task, we
just use exec to call up msbuild.
<target name="build-lcdpanel" description="Build the LCD Panel
solution">
<mkdir dir="${build}" />
<exec program="${msbuild}">
<arg value="${lcdpanel}/LcdPanel.sln" />
<arg value="/fileLogger" />
<arg
value="/fileLoggerParameters:Verbosity=normal;LogFile=${build}/LCDPanelB
uild.log" />
<arg value="/p:Configuration=Release" />
</exec>
</target>
The arg value elements are to pass the various parameters to the msbuild
exe.
I'd start by getting your project working with msbuild.exe itself - then
introduce NANT. You could have simple reference or path type issues.

Subject: [NAnt-users] MS Visual Studio 2005 Solution files and
<msbuild>command
I hope someone here can help me.
I am new to NANT. So please forgive me if I am overlooking something.
My problems is using VS 2005 solution files and NANT. I understand from
the documentation that 2005 Solution files can not be used when using
the NANT <solution> command. So it was suggested on one of the posts in
archives for this list that <msbuild> be used. But I have problems with
that also.
Here is the lines from my .build file that should build the solution
file. It launches the solution file, and does the build but I get all
kinds of errors when building through this, whereas if I launch the .sln
file myself and do the build that way it works fine with now errors. One
of the things that I noticed is that I need to set the buildtype =
release. How would I do that with this command? I can't seem to find any
examples on using <msbuild> command.
<target name="buildBuilder">
<msbuild
project="${local.chekout.path}\lightnet\lights32\lights32.sln"/>
</target>
This should be a lot easier than I am making it out to be, and I am sure
I am just missing something, but I can't seem to figure it out.
Any sort of help would just be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott Mitchell
