Nant and npgsql

[Guest]

Folks,

I am just wondering if anyone has had any success building for the compact
framework using the nant build tool. Specifically I am trying to build
npgsql, an open source PostgreSQL driver, for CF v. 2.0. So far without luck.
Nant's config file (nant.exe.config) contains a section for the CF v. 1.0
but not for the CF v. 2.0. I created a config section based on the CF v. 1.0
section, but neither works (nant -t:netcf-1.0 or nant -t:netcf-2.0 produces
an "Invalid Framework" message).

Has anyone
1) Succesfully built anything with Nant for the CF v. 1.0?
2) Succesfully built for the CF v 2.0?
3) Found some other way to build npgsql for the CF v 2.0?

Thanks much,

Matthew Fleming

I would think this is an error in the NAnt scripts for NPGSql. Doesn't
there distro conatin the CF version already?

No, the npgsql distro does not contain a version for the CF. I have been in
touch with Francisco Figueiredo at npgsql. He has been extremely responsive
but so far there is no solution. Francisco thought their binary for .NET v.
2.0 would work with the CF v. 2.0, but it does not. He also thought it would
be easy to build for the CF v. 2.0 using nant but this seems not to be the
case. Unfortunately Franscisco seems not to have the tools to build for the
CF himself. You can read all about it at
