Thanks. I've done that (request id = 1170100). I also suggested the
possible line of code that needs to be fixed. I tried it in a copy of the
Nant source and it seemed to work. However, i haven't tested it to see if
it would affect anything else...

Subject: [Nant-users] Bug in <solution> macro expansion
I tracked down a bug related to Macro expansion of VS.Net variables within
NANT. The symptom I was seeing was that macros like $(TargetName) and other
target related macros were empty (null). Obviously, this broke various
asspects of the build.
I eventually was able to debug the problem by stepping through the NANT
source in a debugger. It appears that this can occur if the OutputFile
attribute in a config of a vcproj file doesn't exist. This attribute exists
in the <tool Name="VCLinkerTool"> part of a project config. I'm not sure
how this can occur. (It happened in "new" configs - i.e. not Debug or
Release, so perhaps it is not added by default?) In any case, VS.Net
certainly doesn't have a problem with the missing attribute...
Once I knew what was going on the fix was to change the value in the project
config, apply the change, and then change it back. This ensures it is
specified in the project file.
However, Nant would be more robust if it accounted for that and if the
OutputFile attribute did not exist to set it to the default VS.Net would
use, which is:
$(OutDir)/$(ProjectName).lib
Is there a more formal process for reporting bugs or is sending to these
addresses the right thing to do?
