NAnt : A .NET Build Tool |
September 18, 2001 Gerry Shaw -- gerry_shaw@yahoo.com
NAnt is a .NET based build tool. In theory it is kind of like make without make's wrinkles. In practice it's a lot like Ant. NAnt has only been tested with Beta 2 .NET SDK, build 2914.
The idea for NAnt came from Hazware's XBuild project. After emailing the author for a beta 2 version of the tool and getting no response I decided to port the code to .NET beta 2. Due to the number of changes from .NET beta 1 to beta 2 the result was a total rewrite.
Since the software is still in heavy development you are going to be on your own. You can see NAnt build itself by doing the following:
bin\nant
at the command prompt to build NAnt.
