Compile without Visual Studio (1 Viewer)

[Anonymous]

Hey,

I have seen, the Project is developed in Visual Studio .NET.
I dont have Vidual Studio.
Is it possible to compile it with #Develop?

 

[Frodo]

no idea. Ive absolutely no experience with #Develop
Better to get yourself a copy of VS.NET 2003 , makes life much easier!

OK, I have compiled all the parts in #develop now. So far, all OK.

But I cant build the main application. In the directory xbmc is a file missing. The FormCapture.cs and .resx
But these file are not on the cvs tree.

So, whats the problem?

 

[Frodo]

sorry, forgot to add those 2 files to CVS
they should b in CVS now

Schrauber
can you help me a bit with compiling MP with #Develop? (Don't have the cash for Visual Studio .NET)

I got the project converted and when compiling it says:
guilib\CachedTexture.cs(4,17): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'DirectX' does not exist in the class or namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

and

guilib\GUIFont.cs(52,11): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'RenderStates' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I also have the same error (in other files) for namespaces 'CustomVertex' 'StaeBlock' 'TextureState' 'Sampler' and 'Texture'

I suppose that I am missing something, but I don't know what.

Do you have the DirectX SDK and .NET SDK installed?

Which Version of #develop do you use?

 

[Mr.Mitchell]

Nope, I don't have those SDK's installed (downloading them now). I looked around to find a list of stuff that I need to build MediaPortal, but I could not find it. So I am mostly by trail and error.

I am using the Fidalgo Beta 1, 5/5/2004 version. Note that I am quite new to C# (although I am an experienced C++, C, Java programmer), so if there is a better version to use just tell me.

 

[MrMario64]

maybe one of you guys can post a "how to build MediaPortal" guide?

 

[Schrauber]

Fidalgo Beta 1 will do. Its the latest. I'm using it too.
You must install Fidalgo after installing the SDKs. So remove it and install again. So it finds the included help files from the SDKs.

The import the project. There will come an error message. Thats no problem.

There are some dlls in the main directory of mediaportal CVS. These must be copied to the Directory where #Develop creates the project.

After import you have to set some references. Some are not importet correctly. Mostly you must only add a .NET reference to SQliteClient.dll

Do not build the complete project. Build the single parts one by one. There are some dependencies between the parts. So you have to build them in the correct order.
