The Build repository contains scripts to set up your Minary development environment, to compile all projects and to create new release packages.
As development environment Visual Studio Community 2017 is recommended.
Git is the preferred versioning system. As git toolset the following software packages have proven useful:
Make sure the Git bin/path (either from Git for Windows or Sourcetree) is added to the PATH environment variable so you can access the tools via command line. This is a mandatory precondition that must be considered.
- Open Git-Bash and clone the Build repo to your system.
- Open a command prompt. Change to the directory where the cloned Build repository is located.
- Inside the Build directory execute the script FETCH_ALL_REPOS.bat which clones all involved Minary repositories.
If everything went smoothly and no errors occurred you are ready to compile the solutions/projects and create new Minary builds!!
To compile all Minary solutions/projects open a command prompt and execute the batch script COMPILE.bat which also is located inside the Build directory. As parameter you must define the configuration type. This is either DEBUG or RELEASE.
C:\Users\run\code\Minary\Build> COMPILE.bat RELEASE
Attention!!
For an unknown reason compiling the Tools solution will fail with the Exception that fclp cannot be found (issue: #20).
When you've reached this point open the Tools solution in Visual Studio and compile it. After that, COMPILE.bat will compile all solutions without errors.
To build a new Minary release package open a DOS command line and execute the batch script PACKAGE.bat which is located inside the Build directory. As parameter you must define the configuration type and the version name.
The configuration type is either DEBUG or RELEASE.
There are no restrictions on the version name. But it is recommended to take the same version string as declared in the Minary code (1.0.4).
> C:\Users\run\code\Minary\Build> PACKAGE.bat RELEASE 1.0.4
If all these steps passed without errors, a new Minary package has been created inside the Build\BUILDS\RELEASE directory.
