<body class='hmmessage'>As I understand it, libsl (since that's what's been problematic lately) ships both nant build files and vs projects; it should be trivial to include those ready-shipped build recipes into our builds.<BR>
<BR>
(Surely it would be trivial to do a default.build that first do libsecondlife.build, moves the files to the right dir, then does an opensim.build?)<BR>
<BR>
We (I) could surely tweak prebuild to include a shipped vs project into the generated vs solution.<BR>
<BR>
So, we'd ship the libsl source ( one certain rev ) with the opensim source, but not re-gen the nant/vs build files for it, merely include those that are shipped.<BR>
<BR>
Would that solve anything?<BR>
