Introduction
At this moment I have installed the first part of a build server for the customer I’m working at the moment. We are using VS.Net 2003.
We have installed a Continuous Integration Build server. The first part exists only of following steps:
- Get latest version of SourceSafe
- Build de solution
- If necessary, create the IIS Virtual Directory
Somewhere in April, I’m going to add several tools to the build process:
- nDepend
- nUnit
- FxCop
- Simian
- …
As for the build server itself, we use NAnt. For our source control system we use Microsoft’s Visual Source Safe.
So stay tuned, as I will try to write down all my experience and how to set up a build server. It will be in several parts and sometimes a file must be changed again.
At the moment we have following versions:
- Microsoft Visual Studio .Net 2003
- Microsoft Visual Source Safe : 6.0d
- NAnt : 0.85 RC3
- NAnt Contrib : 0.85 RC3
- Cruise Control.Net : 1.1
- CCTray : 1.1
