CruiseControl.NET issue when multiple projects use shared projects

I have CruiseControl.NET configured to monitor 10+ .NET projects. All of these projects (web apps, windows services, wcf services, etc...) use shared class library projects so in the ccnet.config I had to set the svn path for each project to the root of the svn repo.

Cruise Control .NET ignoring project dependencies.

Hi. I have been using CC.Net successfully for some time, but now I have a problem. I added new solution to CC. It is compiled fine in VS2008, but fails in CC.

Hi. First off I just want to say I am not a developer or engineer. I'm just the poor configuration manager trying to get CruiseControl to build a VS2010 / .NET4.0 C# solution and produce the MSIs as outputs.
