Problem with NAnt.Core.dll

thinkabout

This dependency references File Versions not available on Ubuntu 10.04. Had to manually copy the systems version to the ThirdParty Folders. Why do you always store copies of the dlls and don't use them from the gac?

And sry to add another build problem here:
A dependency in GenerateSQL is missing (ICT.Common.DB), where should this Project come from?

Thanks for trying OpenPetra on Ubuntu!

On Ubuntu, is NAnt installed to the GAC? I followed the instructions at nant.sourceforge.net/release/lat ... ation.html, and for Windows that means that NAnt.Core.dll is not part of the GAC. But I need that dll to compile the project csharp\ICT\PetraTools\NAntTasks\Ict.Tools.NAntTasks.csproj. That is the reason I put it into the git.

Ict.Common.DB should come from building "nant compileCommon", and that will run "nant compilePetraTools" already automatically, I think.
I recommend using nant over building from the solution files, at least the initial build.

Please let me know if you find more odd things, I hope we can resolve them quickly.

I tried to compile with nant, but it hasn't worked, so I builded the solution file because I had to change the dependency to the GAC Nant File. The delivered .dll wasn't working with the installed versions of Nant. Now I have a problem with GenerateSQL, somehow, the project Ict.Common.DB doesn't exist.

Which version of NAnt is installed on your system? Usually the versions of NAnt coming with MonoDevelop or other packages are quite old.

I recommend to download the latest binary tar file of NAnt, version 0.90 or higher, eg. sourceforge.net/projects/nant/f ... z/download from End of May 2010.
You should extract it somewhere, and then check with "which nant" where your nant script is located (probably /usr/bin/nant), and update the path of NAnt.exe to your extracted latest version of Nant.

Recarding Ict.Common.DB: Please open the solution csharp/ICT/Common.sln, and compile that. This should create the dll csharp/ICT/Common/_bin/Debug/Ict.Common.DB.dll
PetraTools.sln should pick the dll up from that location.

Nant: 0.85
If I open a Solution with Monodevelop every Project is greyed out and therefor not compiled, just if I select each one for itself, right click, rebuild. Should It be like this?

NAnt 0.85 is quite old. Please try a newer version, installing it manually, as described in my previous post.

MonoDevelop might have problems because it expects an executable project in the solution, and wants to try to only compile the assemblies needed for that executable.
I have not used MonoDevelop much, therefore cannot give you much advice on that.
When you get nant to work, it will compile all assemblies for you, and then MonoDevelop is still useful for developing, since you can compile just the assembly that you are working on.
