RE: Re: [OT] Nant build script

You can do that. You'd be better off passing the output type and language as properties, tho. For instance...

nant -D:type=pdf -D:lang=en docs
nant -D:type=chm -D:lang=en docs

If you have a lot of different settings, you can save the command line settings to a file and use the @<file> option to specify the file that holds the command line settings.

I already knew that we can include build files.
What I'm missing (better: what I don't quite get) is how do you set up the build scripts so you can later do

nant docs en pdf <!-- builds the english pdf --> nant docs en chm <!-- builds the english html help file -->
nant TSVN debug <!-- builds all libs (apr, subversion, ...) and
TortoiseSVN in debug build -->
nant installer <!-- does a release build, generates the docs and then
creates the installer -->

As far as I can see, that's not really possible to do. So in the end, we don't have much more functionality with a nant script than with our current batch file?

I think I may be missing something here...
