Re: [NAnt-users] Solution format of file is not supported.

The installation instruction for nantcontrib say to copy the <nantcontrib>\bin files in the <nant>\bin folder. Did you do that?

I guess I am missing something simple.  I went out and downloaded nantcontrib 0.85.  I tried adding the following to my build.FACCBase target

<msbuild project="FACCBase.sln">
                                                                <property name="Configuration" value="debug"/>
                                                </msbuild>

And now I am getting the error Invalid element <msbuild>. Unknown task or datatype.

I put NAntContrib in a different spot that I put NAnt 0.9, and changed my nant.bat file to reflect the new location.  What did I not do correctly?  I think once I overcome this initial hurdle I will be good to go.

We've found that it's easiest to just use the MSBuild task, rather than the solution task, which calls out to MSBuild itself.

I recently had a friend recommend NAnt to me.  The project I am working on has 10 different solutions to it, and each solution usually has multiple projects within that will output dll files for the final solution to use.  I have a very simple .build file right now:

<project name="Solution Build Example" default="rebuild">
    <property name="configuration" value="release"/>

    <target name="clean" description="Delete all previously compiled binaries.">
        <delete>
            <fileset>
                <include name="**/bin/**" />
                <include name="**/obj/**" />
            </fileset>
        </delete>
    </target>

    <target name="build" description="Build all targets.">
       <call target="build.FACCBase"/>
    </target>

    <target name="rebuild" depends="clean, build" />

    <target name="build.FACCBase">
        <solution configuration="${configuration}" solutionfile="FACCBase.sln">
        </solution>
    </target>

</project>

The clean part is working fine, however when I get to the build portion I get errors:

Solution format of file 'C:\TESTTFS\FACCBase\FACCBase.sln' is not supported.

I am sure that you all will need more information to help me, so if you tell me what I am missing to get this working I will provide as much as I can.  The solution in question has 8 projects and an active config of Debug|Any CPU

Thanks.
