Compiling BugNET


Here you will find instructions on how to compile BugNET using different development tools.  

Prerequisuites

Note that these prerequisuites are applicable to all methods of compiling BugNET.
  1. Get the latest BugNET source from the Sourceforge SVN repository - https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bugnet/trunk/
  2. See BugNET SVN for a detailed description on how to get the source code.
  3. Install the .NET 2.0 SDK (if not already installed with Visual Studio or Visual C# Express).
  4. SQL Server 2000 (MSDE) or Express Editions.

Compiling with Visual C# Express 2008

Visual C# Express 2008 is a free IDE from Microsoft for developing C# applications. It does not have all the features from it's big brother Visual Studio, but it is very good for compiling and developing for BugNET. You can download it here.

Compiling with Visual Studio 2008

Open the solution file using Visual Studio 2008 and select Build -> Build Solution or press F6

Compiling with MSBuild

MSBuild comes with the .NET 2.0 SDK and is a commandline tool to build software by using the projectfiles that Visual Studio creates.
 
Before starting MSBuild, change to the directory that the BugNET source is in. Then type the following at the command line (all on one line):
 
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\msbuild.exe BugNET.sln /t:Rebuild /p:Configuration=Release
