When compiling a project of mine with nant, the compilation process sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. It happens mostly when the system is busy. For example, if i'm not doing anything else than compiling my program with nant, it will work fine for about 70% of the times. However, if i am for example emerging a package with portage, nant only manages to compile my program 20% of the times, perhaps even less. When Nant fails, it usually locks up, or displays error messages that look like "coming out of nowhere". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Put the system busy (e.g. emerge a random package) 2.run nant to compile a program Actual Results: Nant freezes or displays completely out-of-context error messages. Expected Results: Compiled the program correctly. I'm using mono 1.0.6 without Nptl and Nant 0.85_rc2.
I'm betting it's a result of mono-1.0.x's suckage... can you try with mono-1.1.x for me please? Thanks.
I've emerged mono-1.1.7 and all seems to go much better. All the compilations finished successfully, even though there was a strange behaviour: sometimes, a line with the text: "C1 1000 100" appeared at the end of the compilation output (at the end of the total time output). But as i said, it didn't affect the compilation.
Ok, marking FIXED. i've just commited nant-0.85-rc3 to the tree, and it includes a mono-1.1.x dep. Thanks for the report.
Looks like this started happening again frequently. When compiling, NAnt breaks with the following message: ******************************************************************* NAnt 0.85 (Build 0.85.2220.0; dev; 01/29/2006) Copyright (C) 2001-2006 Gerry Shaw http://nant.sourceforge.net BUILD FAILED The current runtime framework 'mono-2.0' is not correctly configured in the NAnt configuration file.

Try 'nant -help' for more information ******************************************************************* It only happens sometimes. I'm not sure if this is a problem with Gentoo or upstream, though.
Sorry, i forgot: i'm using nant-0.85_rc3-r1 and mono-1.1.12.1-r1 without nptl.
Can you reproduce this with mono-1.2.2.1 and nant-0.8.5 ?
ATM i'm rarely using NAnt, but in the few times i've used it didn't freeze nor has it shown random error messages. It does have a different and buggy behavior though. Every message printed out by NAnt is shown with a duplicate (echoed).
Since the original problem is no longer an issue, marking this as fixed.
