<jsc> Task

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
codepage	string	Specifies the code page to use for all source code files in the compilation.	False
platform	string	Specifies which platform version of common language runtime (CLR) can run the output file.	False
warninglevel	string	Specifies the warning level for the compiler to display. Valid values are `0`-`4`. The default is `4`.	False
output	file	The output file created by the compiler.	True
target	string	Output type. Possible values are `exe`, `winexe`, `library` or `module`.	True
debug	bool	Generate debug output. The default is false.	False
define	string	Define conditional compilation symbol(s).	False
failonerror	bool	Determines if task failure stops the build, or is just reported. The default is true.	False
if	bool	If true then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.	False
main	string	Specifies which type contains the Main method that you want to use as the entry point into the program.	False
rebuild	bool	Instructs NAnt to recompile the output file regardless of the file timestamps.	False
timeout	int	The maximum amount of time the application is allowed to execute, expressed in milliseconds. Defaults to no time-out.	False
unless	bool	Opposite of `if`. If false then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false.	False
verbose	bool	Determines whether the task should report detailed build log messages. The default is false.	False
warnaserror	bool	Instructs the compiler to treat all warnings as errors. The default is false.	False
win32icon	file	Icon to associate with the application.	False

Framework-configurable parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
exename	string	The name of the executable that should be used to launch the external program.	False
supportsnowarnlist	bool	Indicates whether the compiler for a given target framework supports a command line option that allows a list of warnings to be suppressed. The default is false.	False
supportspackagereferences	bool	Indicates whether package references are supported by compiler for a given target framework. The default is false.	False
supportsplatform	bool	Specifies whether the compiler for the active target framework supports limiting the platform on which the compiled code can run. The default is false.	False
supportswarnaserrorlist	bool	Indicates whether the compiler for a given target framework supports the "warnaserror" option that takes a list of warnings. The default is false.	False
useruntimeengine	bool	Specifies whether the external program should be executed using a runtime engine, if configured. The default is false.	False

Nested Elements:

<lib>

Deprecated. Additional directories to search in for assembly references.

</lib>

Reference metadata from the specified assembly files.

</references>

<pkg-references>

Specifies list of packages to reference.

<package>

Represents a package.

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
name	string	Name of the package to reference. Multiple package can be specified with a single element as a semi-colon separated list of package names.	True
if	bool	Indicates if the package should be passed to the task. If true then the package will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.	False
unless	bool	Indicates if the package should not be passed to the task. If false then the package will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false.	False

</package>

</pkg-references>

</resources>

The set of source files for compilation.

</sources>

<arg>

The command-line arguments for the external program.

Represents a command-line argument.

Parameters

Attribute	Type	Description	Required
dir	directory	The value for a directory-based command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute path of the directory.	False
file	file	The name of a file as a single command-line argument; will be replaced with the absolute filename of the file.	False
if	bool	Indicates if the argument should be passed to the external program. If true then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.	False
line	string	List of command-line arguments; will be passed to the executable as is.	False
path	<path>	The value for a PATH-like command-line argument; you can use `:` or `;` as path separators and NAnt will convert it to the platform's local conventions, while resolving references to environment variables.	False
unless	bool	Indicates if the argument should not be passed to the external program. If false then the argument will be passed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false.	False
value	string	A single command-line argument; can contain space characters.	False

Nested Elements:

<path>

Sets a single command-line argument and treats it like a PATH - ensures the right separator for the local platform is used.

</path>

Examples

A single command-line argument containing a space character.
```
<arg value="-l -a" />
    
```
Two separate command-line arguments.
```
<arg line="-l -a" />
    
```
A single command-line argument with the value \dir;\dir2;\dir3 on DOS-based systems and /dir:/dir2:/dir3 on Unix-like systems.
```
<arg path="/dir;/dir2:\dir3" />
    
```
