Prerequities

To build PoshSvn you are required to have Visual Studio or Visual Studio Build Tools installed on your machine with the following components:

• Desktop development with C++

cd .\poshsvn

The other way is to checkout PoshSvn from my subversion server by link https://svn.rinrab.com/rinrab/poshsvn/trunk. You may use the guest user with username guest and empty password.

cd .\poshsvn

Build process

The only you need to build PoshSvn is to call MSBuild with and pass some parameters.

The following command builds PoshSvn with all its components:

cd D:\Users\User\source\repos\opensource\rinrab\path\to\your\poshsvn\source\code\to\build
MSBuild.exe .\PoshSvn.sln /restore /property:Configuration=Release

This would take about 10 minutes to build all components. Next builds would take just a few seconds.

Important

Build from Developer Command Prompt for VS or Developer PowerShell for VS because the MSBuild.exe is required to be in PATH.
