[Mono-list] building NAnt with mcs?

[Dan Lewis]

Sage advice from Nick.

I'd just like to add that the error you're getting there is from using
Windows-style command line arguments. In this case, MCS thinks it's
compiling a series of files called "/out:Nant_mono.exe", etc...

(My IO error methods aren't quite as lucid as they should be at the
moment, so what should be a 'friendly' FileNotFoundException is instead
that weird Win32 IO error)

Normally you'd compile it as:

  mcs -o NAnt_mono.exe --recurse ./*.cs

Or something similar...


Dan.
