Raj, If you want to use the <depends> task, you need to download and install/load NAntContrib. However, most people use the depends attribute on the target element to define dependencies.
The <depends> task is useful when you want to dynamically define the dependencies.

On windows this nant file works with version 0.86 beta. On MAC the build fails ( same version of nant) saying depends is unknown task. Is this project file legal ? Can "depends" be a child xml element of a target or always need to be comma separated attribute ? How is everyone dealing with lot of comma separated values particularly when the target names are big strings ? -Raj <?xml version="1.0"?> <project basedir="." default="build" name="TestFunc"> <target name="clean"> <echo message="cleaning"/> </target> <target name="build"> <depends on="clean"/> <echo message="build"/> </target> </project> -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/correct-usage-of-depends-attribute-tp21939493p21939493 .html Sent from the NAnt - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
