Hi,

I’m finalizing an article which includes details on how to compile  
IronRuby.

It seems that MsBuild IronRuby.sln doesn’t compile successfully at  
revision 76 (it’s looking for  
…....\Runtime\Microsoft.Scripting\Microsoft.Scripting.csproj which  
doesn’t exist).

Does anyone meet the same issue ?

“rake compile” works perfectly fine.

cheers

I ran into something similar yesterday. What I ended up doing was  
getting a clean checkout from svn, running rake compile, and once that  
completed successfully, opening up the IronRuby.sln file. For some  
reason, Visual Studio was able to compile from there on out.

Yup - I noticed that once it’s compiled with Visual Studio, some  
.csproj files are modified. This is probably what allows MsBuild to be  
successful just after.

Thanks for the hint!
