Re: [nant-dev] multiple framework support for vbc task

[Gert D. <ger...@pa...>]

Hi,

I added multiple framework support to the vbc task, but I was wondering if I
should immediately add support for this to the jsc task (SSCLI supports
jscript) or perhaps even to the vjc task ?

If not, I'll post the patches for the adding multiple framework support to
the vbc task later today. I have not yet managed to build a MonoBasic
application using nant because it expects the commandline options to be
specified using -- instead of /
