NAnt Build

I will use the NAnt master build, simple dll, simple exe, and winform exe templates all taken from Chapter 4. Listing 9.2 shows the master build file.

NOTE

NAnt 0.8.2 was used for this chapter.

Listing 9.2. ASpell.NET's Build Projects File

<projects>
<!-- ASpell.Net -->
<project>
<name>aspell.net\aspell.net</name>
</project>
<!-- Tests -->
<project>
<name>tests\nunit\nunit</name>
<dependencies>
<dependency>aspell.net</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
<project>
<name>tests\ConsoleAppTester\ConsoleAppTester</name>
<dependencies>
<dependency>aspell.net</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
<!-- Examples -->
<project>
<name>examples\WindowsApp\WindowsApp</name>
<dependencies>
<dependency>aspell.net</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
<project>
<name>examples\WordPadSpell\WordPadSpell</name>
<dependencies>
<dependency>aspell.net</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
</projects>

Notice that all the example projects are dependent upon the ASpell.NET project. Listing 9.3 shows that after the transform of the project file and building all the subprojects, the setup project is run, and the iso file is created. At this point, the file could be distributed a number of different ways, but Listing 9.3 uses SCP (secure copy) to upload the file to a server.

Figure 9-1 is the assurance that the NAnt build, complete with NUnit and NDoc integration, is working.

Before continuing any further, we should set up a Source Code Management (SCM) system.
