Hey all, I’ve got the latest source from svn as of today and can compile just fine using the Rakefile. However when I open the visual studio projects (in 2005 or 2008) several of the project paths are messed up and only one of the projects loads. Is this a known issue? Just looking for a nice way to browse the source… Thanks, -Jayme ---

You’ll need to use the IronRuby.sln solution, _not_ the Ruby.sln. I’ll fix my deploy script to scrub Ruby.sln from external sources as this causes a lot of confusion. -John ---

Thanks John, I’ve got it building now, great. When I build though, it seems that the .csproj files of some projects are updated, some spaces are removed, and some paths are adjusted. Is there a specific version of the IDE other than 2008 I should be using, or perhaps I should only build through the rakefile to make sure that svn doesn’t modify these .csproj files and flag them as having changed? Thanks, -Jayme ---

You might want to svn exclude them for the time being. I have to apply transforms to those files when I generate the external layout (as well as doing transforms on the way back in). I need to spend some time coding on the external layout for a while to get a better feel (I use our internal layout which is what Ruby.sln respects). Thanks, -John
