Compiling from SVN on Ubuntu
Posted Wednesday, 20 May, 2009 - 13:53 by JTalton inI grabbed both the lastest SVN and the latest zip. In the build instructions it says to open the sln file from the Build directory. The sln file does not seem to be there. (I've looked in both Build directories in the tree) I installed nant and tried to build targeting mono and there are build errors. I have not looked into those.
Is there something I am missing?

Re: Compiling from SVN on Ubuntu
The .sln file is only avalailable in actual releases, not SVN. The fact that it's missing in 0.9.7 is a bug (#782: There is no .sln file in the Build/ directory).
Solution: run Build.exe and type "vs" to create the missing sln. You can build this with MonoDevelop 2.0 and Mono 1.9.2 or 2.0.
Re: Compiling from SVN on Ubuntu
Perfect. The "vs" build target was not listed as an option from the build.exe so I did not know about it. Thanks!
Re: Compiling from SVN on Ubuntu
Ok, updated Build.exe to clarify available options.
The build system now relies on MSBuild and OpenTK can be built either from an IDE (Visual Studio, SharpDevelop, MonoDevelop 2.0) or from the commandline (msbuild.exe). Nant is no longer required or supported.
On the downside, it won't be possible to build OpenTK with Mono from the commandline, because xbuild (Mono's msbuild implementation) is nowhere near mature enough. On the bright side, MonoDevelop 2.0 works fine. Even MonoDevelop 1.0 can work, if you import the solution and correct its project settings.

mono Build.exe vs - Works great!
(Now puts sln in opentk/Build instead of opentk/Sources/Build)
But inputing "vs" after the fact causes a crash.

Can you please checkout and try again? I don't have access to Linux ATM.
Re: Compiling from SVN on Ubuntu
Works but says building VS 2005.
If you don't specify a BuildMode gives the help text.
If you do, it seems to run twice.

Ok, I've installed a Jaunty VM and will fix that ASAP.
