    text
    copied!<p>I'm using subversion and nant (and visual studio IDE)</p> <p>I've been following the suggested project structure at <a href="http://blog.jpboodhoo.com/NAntStarterSeries.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://blog.jpboodhoo.com/NAntStarterSeries.aspx</a> which advocates self contained subversion directories where a developer can do a checkout and immediately build a project in a single step.</p> <p>My repo structure is like:</p> <pre><code>/Repo /MainProject /trunk /doc &lt;-- documentation /lib &lt;-- binary-only DLLs /src &lt;-- source code for MainProject /tools &lt;-- holds tools like nant, nunit, etc ... /ClassLibrary1 /trunk /doc /lib /src /tools ... /ClassLibrary2 /trunk /doc /lib /src /tools </code></pre> <p>What's not clear is how to structure a project that has class libraries which in turn reference third party library dll's themselves. </p> <p>Currently, I have a main project with a working directory like</p> <p>Example:</p> <pre><code>/MainProject /build /lib /src /MainProject /ClassLibrary1 &lt;-- svn external to svn://server/repo/ClassLibrary1/trunk/src /ClassLibrary2 &lt;-- svn external to svn://server/repo/ClassLibrary2/trunk/src /tools ... </code></pre> <p>When building MainProject, I compile the class libraries and output the dll's to the build folder. However, the class libraries themselves have 3rd party binary-only DLL's that they reference.</p> <p>My questions is in order to build the MainProject I have to somehow get the 3rd party DLL's from the class libraries into the build output. How do I do that?</p> <p>Thoughts: 1. Should I store copies of these 3rd party dlls in the MainProject's lib folder? 2. Or should my svn:external reference be to the trunk of the class library project rather than the src so that I can access the class library's lib folder? 3. Should I use the subversion 1.6 feature of svn:externals to individual files?</p>
