NAnt
What is it?
-----------
NAnt is a .NET based build tool. In theory it is kind of like make without
make's wrinkles. In practice it's a lot like Ant.
If you are not familiar with Jakarta Ant you can get more information at the
Ant project web site (http://ant.apache.org/).
Why NAnt?
---------
Because Ant was too Java specific.
Because Ant needed the Java runtime. NAnt only needs the .NET
or Mono runtime.
The Latest Version
------------------
Details of the latest version can be found on the NAnt project web site
http://nant.sourceforge.net/
Files
-----
README.txt - This file.
Makefile - Makefile for compilation with GNU Make.
Makefile.nmake - Makefile for compilation with Microsoft NMake.
Compilation and Installation
----------------------------
a. Overview
-----------
The compilation process uses NAnt to build NAnt.
The approach is to first compile a copy of NAnt (using make/nmake) for
bootstrapping purpose. Next, the bootstrapped version of NAnt is used in
conjunction with NAnt build file (NAnt.build) to build the full version.
b. Prerequisites
----------------
To build NAnt, you will need the following components:
Windows
-------
* A version of the Microsoft .NET Framework
Available from http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/
You will need the .NET Framework SDK as well as the runtime
components if you intend to compile programs.
Note: NAnt currently supports versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.5, and 4.0
of the Microsoft .NET Framework.
or
* Mono for Windows (version 2.0 or higher)
Available from http://www.mono-project.com/downloads/
Linux/Unix
----------
* GNU toolchain - including GNU make
* pkg-config
Available from: http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/pkgconfig
* A working Mono installation and development libraries (version 2.0 or higher)
Available from: http://www.mono-project.com/downloads/
b. Building the Software
------------------------
Build NAnt using Microsoft .NET:
GNU Make
--------
make install MONO= MCS=csc prefix=<installation path> [DESTDIR=<staging path>] [TARGET=<nant target>]
eg. make install MONO= MCS=csc prefix="c:\Program Files" TARGET=net-2.0
NMake
-----
nmake -f Makefile.nmake install prefix=<installation path> [DESTDIR=<staging path>] [TARGET=<nant target>]
eg. nmake -f Makefile.nmake install prefix="c:\Program Files" TARGET=net-4.0
Building NAnt using Mono:
GNU Make
--------
make install prefix=<installation path> [DESTDIR=<staging path>] [TARGET=<nant target>]
eg. make install prefix="c:\Program Files" TARGET=mono-4.0
NMake
-----
nmake -f Makefile.nmake install MONO=mono CSC=mcs prefix=<installation path> [DESTDIR=<staging path>] [TARGET=<nant target>]
eg. nmake -f Makefile.nmake install MONO=mono CSC=mcs prefix=/usr/local/
Note:
These instructions only apply to the source distribution of NAnt, as the binary distribution
contains pre-built assemblies.
