Migrating to NAnt
Here are some tips to help you implement a NAnt build for existing projects.
- Check everything into SCM.
- Make sure everything builds.
- Label SCM.
- Refactor directories.
- Create the NAnt build.If you are currently using Visual Studio.NET, try out the slingshot or solution task. This can give you a starting point but is not as good as designing your own build because this still relies too heavily on the IDE to set build properties.
- Use verbose mode and logging properties until the build is stable.
