NAnt the Powerful

I never met a heavy weight build script interpreter I didn't like. Quike frankly, that goes with out saying for NAnt. My first try at using NAnt with my senior project, “The Puzzler - 3D Style” whos current beta parts are listed here for anyone that care to inspect.

I was very surprised with just how quickly I was able to take off with using NAnt builder by just using my .sln and .proj files autogenerated by VS.NET 2003. This is a very simplified use of NAnt starting out, but just by looking at it, it's easy to tell just how complex such a build script with NAnt can get...

That batch file build.bat executes two lines:
NAnt.exe -l:build.log.txt clean build
start /B /I NOTEPAD.EXE build.log.txt

This then executes the build script xml document:
