NAnt newbie - support chart

Question

Hi all

Will any of you guys be kind and explain the framework support chart shown here: nant.sourceforge.net.

My primary interest is the meaning of the terms target and runtime in the context of nant?

Thanks in advance / derdres

Answer 1

Target refers to the supported frameworks against which you can compile your projects (i.e., with NAnt, you can compile .NET 3.5 projects, Mono 2.0 projects, Silverlight 2.0 projects, etc.).

Runtime refers to the frameworks on which NAnt can be run (for instance, if you have .NET 1.0 installed, you can run NAnt).
