NAnt MSBuild Version

Where is the configuration setting in nant that sets which version of MSBuild to use?

Nant wants to use 3.5 when it needs to use 4.0.

Solution

  • I wrote a blog entry a few years ago that explains how to leverage any version of MSBuild from your NAnt build script. Essentially, you would be using the <exec> node to make the call to MSBuild as it is installed on your computer.

    <target name=”build”>
  <exec program=”${MSBuildPath}”>
    <arg line=’”${SolutionFile}”‘ />
    <arg line=”/property:Configuration=${SolutionConfiguration}” />
    <arg value=”/target:Rebuild” />
    <arg value=”/verbosity:normal” />
    <arg value=”/nologo” />
    <arg line=’/logger:”C:\Program Files\CruiseControl.NET\server\ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.MsBuild.dll”‘/>
  </exec>
</target>
