[fixed] Alpha 3. Building installer from source does not work. (1 Viewer)

[mrj]

Hi
To build MP2-Setup.msi, put the content of the attached zip file in folder
xxx\MediaPortal\Build\BuildReport
run xxx\MediaPortal\Build\MSBUILD_Create_Full_Installer.bat
Installer will be in
xxx\MediaPortal\Bin\MP2-Setup\Release\en-us
/mrj

After downloading the sources, did you also updated the submodules?

[mrj]

No
I downloaded only the zip file, that is, I have not used git at all.

/edit
To be clear I used the tagged file https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-2/archive/MP2_Alpha_3.zip
from here
https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-2/releases

ok, nevertheless it's not a bug, it's a feature

If you would like to you can extend the wiki page explaining an alternative way to get the sources by downloading the zip file and attach your zip file to the page and link to it.

Within the next weeks I will have a look at an alternative to get the build report files into the source during the build process similar to the nuget packages, so the submodule would not be required anymore.

I've moved the BuildReport files into a nuget package.
specification: https://github.com/MediaPortal/BuildReport/blob/master/BuildReport.nuspec

uploaded it to our nuget feed: https://www.myget.org/gallery/mediaportal

replaced the submodule by the NuGet usage within my own fork: https://github.com/chefkoch/MediaPortal-2/commit/4b1265ad805f27c11137f81d409b7b0cd2d35273
https://github.com/chefkoch/MediaPortal-2/commits/REWORK_VersionInfo_BuildReport

Still I am not sure when I set this branch read for review/merge and move it to the official repo, because would like to implement a process for releasing the MP2 core dlls as nuget packages as well to improve the workflow/process for plugin developers.

Hi mrj,

Could you try this again, please?
https://github.com/MediaPortal/MediaPortal-2/tree/REWORK__NuGet_Transifex_Build_BuildReport

It contains BuildReport as NuGet package, but also a redesigned script for handling translations (Transifex.targets) as well as a complete rework of the build script and NuGet integration.

Hi
I will make another try tonight.

Hi
I have tested now.
MSBUILD_Create_Full_Installer_NoTransifex.bat
works

MSBUILD_Create_Full_Installer.bat
does not work (transifex. see buildreport)
/mrj

• "C:\Users\my\Desktop\MediaPortal-2-REWORK__NuGet_Transifex_Build_BuildReport\MediaPortal\Build\\..\Tools\Transifex\tx.exe" pull -a -f
• Exception: No user credentials found for host https://www.transifex.com. Edit ~/.transifexrc and add the appropriate info in there.

Exactly as expected. So no problem. The Transifex pull requires to have transifex configured on your machine, see also: http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/2_MEDIAPORTAL_2/8_Contribute/Localization/Translation_Guide/Exception:_No_user_credentials_found_during_translation_download
that's why I added the new batch ....NoTransifex So everybody can build everything

Thanks again for testing
