Source code is included for reference. This can go away again once Prebuild is updated with a more general mechanism for cleaning up files.
The Prebuild source code here can be built with nant, or regnerated for other tools using the prebuild at {root}/bin/Prebuild.exe
Upgrading Prebuild.exe to correctly construct build solutions
for crossplatform tools such as xbuild, monodevelop and nant.
NOTE: Module prebuild files will need modification to work,
as the prebuild must correctly define the reference path for
all assemblies shipped in the OpenSimulator ./bin directory.
These include assemblies such as XMLRPC.dll, OpenMetaverse.dll,
Nini.dll, etc. . The entries should follow the form:
<Reference name="Nini" path="../../../bin/"/>
See the distributed prebuild.xml for further examples.
Crossplatform tools: xbuild and monodevelop use the
vs2008 OpenSim.sln and the .csproj files in each namespace.
Changes to the Prebuild.exe are against svn 322 and are included
in a patch attached to the mantis. And the dnpb source are
available@ svn co https://dnpb.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dnpb dnpb
The patches are pending application by the dnpb team. After which,
the un-modified upstream Prebuild.exe will work as expected.
* Something that thus needs fixing is the fact that ProjectReferences has to be marked
<ProjectReference>
<Private>False</Private>
</ProjectReference>
but that is not configurable in the upstream Xml Schema. I've hardcoded it in our repo for now.
* Applied upstreams changes to allow for auditing and debugging in our various environments.
* This should, in theory, bring back 'multiple ref dirs'.
* Temporarily Removed xmlns because prebuild-1.7 schema does not allow for multiple solutions per prebuild node (This will be a moot issue once the Prebuild node is moved out of prebuild.xml)
* Autotools target: Various minor fixes
* MonoDevelop Target : No changes.
* Nant Target: Various minor fixes, support for net-3.5 and mono-2.0/3.5 targets
* Sharpdevelop targets: No changes.
* VS Targets: Refactored into using VSGenericTarget, and supports 2.0-3.5
* XCode Target: No changes.
--- Regressions and outstanding issues ---
* The Solution is assigned a random Guid - will lead to unnecessary reloads and loss of user settings.
--- New features of Prebuild 2.0.4 ---
* (Better) support for Web, WinForms and Database Projects and build actions
* Conditional Framework Version compilation support (1.1, 2.0-3.5)
* ArrayList -> List<>, ICollection -> IList
(this means Prebuild can generate 1.1 solutions, but can't itself be built under 1.1 - how very meta)
* Added <?include file="sub_prebuild.xml" ?> preprocessor directive.
* Patch 1 stops OpenSim.32BitLaunch.exe and ScriptEngines/Default.lsl being deleted on nant clean
* Patch 2 resolves a building problem with pCampBot
* This will require a prebuild rerun
Nant files now obey the target out of prebuild.xml, so Linux users will be able to build as Debug
Nant clean target now does the right thing (doesn't wipe out all of bin/)
Prebuild's own prebuild system is broken due to the .exe workaround added a while ago, will
register a bug for that seperately.
