MSBuild Integration

You can use MSBuild to compile a Visual Studio solution / project file making use of the calling the msbuild runnable:

target compile:
  msbuild(file: "path/to/somefile.sln")

This will execute MSBuild against a particular solution file using the default options. You can customise these options by setting properties on the msbuild object using Boo’s object initializer syntax

target compile:
  msbuild(file: "path/to/somefile.sln", configuration: "release")
