Re: Is there a template/example for this setup?

Its really as simple as comparing the current binary to the sourcecode using <uptodate> and only building a project if needed?

I do that in my own builds. We have a tool that builds a database packager. I only build a new packager exe if any of the SQL schema source files have newer dates than the current packager exe.

As a matter of fact, most compiler has a built in mode that will do this, don't they?

Thanks, but I don't have time to delve into yet another tool now, though I did d/l the app and perused through it a little.

One thing that will help is if I can setup a nant target that checks for modifications on a certain folder, similar to the filtered <sourcecontrol> element of ccnet.

CI Factory's scripts do this. IIRC he creates a text file with any changed files to determine if the project needs to be built. While I don't use CI Factory anymore I got several ideas from it and learned quite a few nant tricks. Even if you don't use it, setting it up and looking at the scripts is quite eye opening.

This is a common architecture so I'm hoping someone's done this before.

Say I have a Windows project with 2 components, each component in its on directory, like so:

ProjectA
   Component1
      File1.h
      File1.cpp
      File1.sln
   Component2
      File2.h
      File2.cpp
      File2.sln

I only want to build a component if a file changed in its corresponding folder. This entails that I have to:

-          Check for changes in the component directory with our SCM tool (sadly, Starteam in our case)

-          If changes exist, check out the changes

-          Build the solution file

Then if and only if ALL components build, I do

-          Check in files

-          Label files
