[Mono-devel-list] MSBuild ..

[Louis R. Marascio]

Jarek,

I don't doubt it.  In fact we use Nant at my company quite a bit.  The
biggest, #1 drawback in using Nant is that when development occurs from
VS.NET you are forced to maintain separate project files... OR you are
forced to use a task that tries to interpret your solution files.  The
single build format that MSBuild brings to the table is there will no longer
be a void between a VS.NET project file and a "build" file.

Sorry, I accidentally pressed ctrl-enter ;-)

I was just going to say that in many cases the same NAnt buildfile can be
used in both environments without modifications. Things are getting better
every day as the NAnt team is working with the mono team to squish the bugs.

I really encourage everyone to try the latest nightly build of NAnt.
