A couple of issues building in Visual Studio

Ruby IronRuby
1

I posted this in the open-discussion forum. Maybe that’s not used much
these days.

  I've found a few problems building IronRuby on Windows (using the

IronRuby.sln file). It’s possible my set-up might be bad, although all I
did was download the SVN files and build them.

  A number of the projects have bad references (these look to be

caused by the projects not being in the location the csproj files
expect).
I found that I had to change the following CSPROJ files (Ruby,
IronRuby.Libraries, ClassInitGenerator, Ruby.Console, RubyTestHost).

  Also, I was doing a Release build and that does not compile. The

Microsoft.Scripting library has #if DEBUG round definitions of 2
Utils.ReflectionUtils functions (FormatTypeName and FormatTypeArgs),
which are referred to in Program.cs of ClassInitGenerator.

  I'm guessing others don't build from the Visual Studio solution

(or I’ve set my environment up stupidly).

I am able to build the source with VS.NET 2005. I don’t remember if
there
were any tricks that I had to do to make it work…

Have you tried building with rake?

Same here. I didn’t try the rake build - I just open the solution in
VS2005 and build away - both debug and release mode.

Derek - are you sure it’s the 2005 version? I saw the references problem
last time I opened the 2008 solution, but didn’t have a chance to see
what was going on.
