Compiling with C# Express 2008 (1 Viewer)

[bmt]

hi everyone,

i just followed the instructions as described here and tried to compile the MP
But it does not work...

This is what I've done:

- installed MS Visual C# Express 2008
- installed Tortoise SVN + downloaded the src from https://sources.team-mediaportal.com/svn/public/trunk/mediaportal and https://sources.team-mediaportal.com/svn/public/trunk/TvEngine3
- installed the .NET SDK v2.0
- installed the February 2010 DirectX SDK
- run the "Build VCExpress MP.bat"

What I'm missing: the MediaPortal.VC#Express.sln ?!

Opening and debugging the MediaPortal.sln throws up 22 errors and 3 warnings

Am I doing something wrong?

in advance

I tried something new: downloaded the src for the 1.0.2 release now from https://mediaportal.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mediaportal/tags/Release 1.0.2/
There is the MediaPortal.VC#Express.sln included.
But still it doesn't work. Does it only work with Express 2005?

I could use Visual Studio 2005, but I have to work with 2008 to use the current SVN - right?

I've run into similar problems. Like you, I have:
1. Installed VC++ 2008 Express, with updates
2. Installed VC# 2008 Express
3. Installed Tortoise SVN + latest (HEAD) revision of MediaPortal, TvEngine3, DirectX etc.
4. Tried to install DirectX SDK Feb 2010 (got S1010 error, so installation was incomplete)

I think the wiki page needs updating, as the current MP releases are built from Visual Studio 2008 versions, not 2005.

I'd be happy to update the wiki, but do not know which of the required applicaitons to install to get a working compilation in the first place (due to the wiki being out of date)

Questions (for the successful developers):
1. Are the 2008 Express editions adequate, or are the full-blown (paid-for) editions required to compile MP and Directshow source files?
2. What applications/versions need to be installed to successfully compile the current versions of MP?
3. Is the order of installation important?

2. What applications/versions need to be installed to successfully compile the current versions of MP?

this would be very helpful. only compilable with VS2008 or Express 2005?
