Build.Net: Getting it Together
It's been a long time coming, as I've decided to get my release together for Build.Net. This all started when I began using Nant, mainly the SolutionTask and found that the task barely works for large heterogenous builds. Previous to Nant, I had used make, nmake, various home-grown batch files and the awesome Ant. So I decided to create my own build tool; nothing fancy, just something that can take a list or directory of Visual Studio project files and create an automated build. Where my tool differs greatly form the SolutionTask is that is treats each independent .*proj file as it's own build, and emits and dependent binaries that are needed for the build, then it creates a nice little csc command line and outputs the appropriate binary. Since I do like Nant auotmating things (just not building) I have also made a Nant task to support it's use.Posted by 0xFF3300 at February 4, 2004 10:33 PM

Can I get a copy of this tool? We are looking for a tool that takes the directory, determines the build order and builds.. We have about 80 projects in our application.
