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.
