Ironruby core - Oct 2007 - A couple of issues building in Visual Studio

I posted this in the open-discussion forum. Maybe that''s not used much
these days.

      I''ve found a few problems building IronRuby on Windows (using the
IronRuby.sln file). It''s possible my set-up might be bad, although all
I did was download the SVN files and build them.

      A number of the projects have bad references (these look to be caused by
the projects not being in the location the csproj files expect).
      I found that I had to change the following CSPROJ files (Ruby,
IronRuby.Libraries, ClassInitGenerator, Ruby.Console, RubyTestHost).

      Also, I was doing a Release build and that does not compile. The
Microsoft.Scripting library has #if DEBUG round definitions of 2
Utils.ReflectionUtils functions (FormatTypeName and FormatTypeArgs), which are
referred to in Program.cs of ClassInitGenerator.

      I''m guessing others don''t build from the Visual Studio
solution (or I''ve set my environment up stupidly).

I am able to build the source with VS.NET 2005.  I don''t remember if
there
were any tricks that I had to do to make it work...

Have you tried building with rake?

Same here. I didn''t try the rake build - I just open the solution in
VS2005 and build away - both debug and release mode.

Derek - are you sure it''s the 2005 version? I saw the references
problem last time I opened the 2008 solution, but didn''t have a chance
to see what was going on.
