SolutionName property = *Undefined* in SharpDevelop

pareklund · 2007-12-25, 20:06

Hi, nice work on the new version. It seems you guys on the team have been busy lately.

I just downloaded the source code to get an overall feel for the new design but when trying to build it in #Develop 2.2.1 I got the following error from MSBuild for several modules:

The command "xcopy /Y "C:\Dev\src\MediaPortal2\Media.Players\BassPlayer\ BassPlayer.plugin" "C:\Dev\src\MediaPortal2\*Undefined*\bin\Debug\Plu gins\Media.Players.BassPlayer\"
xcopy /Y "C:\Dev\src\MediaPortal2\Media.Players\BassPlayer\ bin\Debug\BassPlayer.dll" "C:\Dev\src\MediaPortal2\*Undefined*\bin\Debug\Plu gins\Media.Players.BassPlayer\"" exited with code 4.

Investigating further, I noticed that SolutionDir is in fact ok, but now the property SolutionName is undefined instead.

So my question to you is: Is this a bug, in the same fashion as when SolutionDir was previously undefined or have I missed something?

If it is a bug, I take it you don't use #Develop for development of MediaPortal2? And if so, I guess my only option is to revert to Visual Studio 2005? I just finished upgrading to Visual Studio 2008 and realized that it requires me to convert the projects to 2008 format, which I would like to avoid.

Thankful for any help.

Keep up the good work.

I have the same problem. my I use SharpDevelop 3.0 Alpha "Montferrer" (http://build.sharpdevelop.net/buildartefacts/)

Ok, anyone knows someone in the #Develop group? Maybe I should submit a post in their forums or perhaps write a bug report straight away...

My local quick fix was to perform a recursive global replace in the .csproj files, replacing $(SolutionName) with MediaPortal. Not planning on checking it in though... :-|

Sorry, I don't think anyone on the dev team uses Sharpdevelop

Hi,

Make sure to actually select a target platform for the build process before trying to build.

Quote:

C:\Dev\src\MediaPortal2\*Undefined*\bin\Debug\Plu gins\Media.Players.BassPlayer\

For example:

Code:

msbuild.exe ... /p:Platform=x86 ...
