Crash while trying to add .designer.cs files into CSPROJs

Vinicius Pessôa — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 16:40:31 -0000

Hi.

I know that it has already been an issue about this, but I'm currently linked with Prebuild's trunk and the application is crashing when it tries to add .designer.cs files in a csproj. I'm using a structure <Match path="source/cs/ROOT_NAMESPACE" pattern="*.cs" recurse="true"/> for all my C-Sharp source files adding. Below follows the traceback:

frameworkVersion attribute ignored for MonoDevelop target

Aurelien Minvielle — Mon, 17 May 2010 14:43:22 -0000

Problem : The "frameworkVersion" attribute of the "Project" nodes in prebuild.xml is ignored when generating the MonoDevelop Project configuration file. This can block the build in Monodevelop (for OpenSim for instance) : some references are identified as not available for the default frameworkVersion used.

Expected behaviour : if frameworkVresion is set to "v3_5" in prebuild.xml, the generated .mdp files should contain a "targetVersion" attribute in the project node set to "3.5".

Solution : I think a minor modification of the WriteProject method in Prebuild/src/Core/Targets/MonoDevelopTarget.cs:185 should do the trick. I attached a patch.

SupressWarnings option not respected by NAnt build

Anonymous — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 07:41:43 -0000

Generated NAnt build does not respect SupressWarnings option in prebuild.xml

Nant output directory does not respect configuration

Tommi Laukkanen — Fri, 22 May 2009 18:42:25 -0000

At least for exe projects the nant project output is directed to project/bin/Release or project/bin/Debug instead of the output directory defined in the prebuild.xml.

Exe projects nant build has gac references with .exe ending.

Tommi Laukkanen — Fri, 22 May 2009 16:57:21 -0000

With exe projects the generated nant build file has references like System.Drawing with .exe ending instead of .dll. This works correctly for Library projects. The ending might be generated based on the project type.

How changing from Library project to exe project affects generated nant file includes:
<include name="System.dll" />
=>
<include name="System.exe" />

Visual Studio 2008 WinForm design.cs support missing

Tommi Laukkanen — Fri, 22 May 2009 14:57:55 -0000

For visual studio 2008 projects do not correctly reference all three files belonging to a winform. Namely the xxx.cs, xxx.Designer.cs and xxx.resx even if you refer the .cs file explicitly with file type Form.

Nant: project references do not respect localCopy="true"

Tommi Laukkanen — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 19:13:56 -0000

If I refer to library project output in exe project and set localCopy="true" nant build does not copy the library output to the exe project output in the same manner as external library dependencies. This would be very usefull if I have several library and exe projects in the same build and would not want to put output from all to same directory.

Prebuild fails on network shares.

If you try to run prebuild on a project that lies on a network share, Prebuild will fail with the following message:

This looks like a permission problem or a path problem (network share is mapped to Z:\trunk). Any ideas?

buildAction="FileCopy" support on MonoDevelop target

Milton Pividori — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 00:32:28 -0000

This is in the latest version (2.0.1). I cannot make a file included (not source code to compile) in a MonoDevelop project to be copied to the output directory, even if the copyToOutput="Always" is set for that file.

So, I modified the target for MonoDevelop to check, when setting the buildAction, if copyToOutput was set for that file. It makes buildAction = "FileCopy".

I attach this patch.

Congratulations for this project. I think is very useful.
