Re: [NAnt-users] Change basedir for target

[Bonio L. <bon...@gm...>]

Hi Ricardo,
try following:
1. put a small nant build file my_build.build in the directory_you_need.
2. In the top nant script write
  <nant target="${target::get-current-target()}">
      <buildfiles>
        <include name="directory_you_need//my_build.build " />
      </buildfiles>
    </nant>
 
 
Now ${project::get-base-directory()} will be directory_you_need inside of
my_build.build. I am wondering, why nant works like this.Personally I would
prefer that ${project::get-base-directory()}  would stay a location of the
topmost nant script (as it is when <include> used). But for you this
behavior seems to be a rescue :).
 
Best regards,
Boni

I tried, but the cd didn't worked. It has to be basedir.

Thanks anyway.

Are you sure it relies on these files to be inside the base directory, and
not the current directory ?

If it's the current directory, then you could use the <cd> task in 
NAntContrib to modify it.
