Platform Selector (x86/x64)

Tommi Laukkanen — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 19:07:44 -0000

It would be nice to be able choose whether result is explicitly built for 32 bit as included native libraries may be only available as 32 bit. As a result the program should be run as 32 bit in 64 bit oss versions or native libraries will be loaded as 64 bit as well which results in error.

C.J. broke pkg-config parser

It looks like the pkg-config (.pc) file parser is broken. I need to fix this.

Directory exclusion selector

There needs to be a way of excluding directories from a match. There should be an option to exclude recursively.

ASP.NET output

C.J. Adams-Collier — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 05:46:48 -0000

We have no reliable way to make an ASP.NET deployment package. This needs some thought and design before we can schedule it.

Thoughts?

New features (asp.net, monodev 2.0, exclude files)

I've been getting my projects to use Prebuild, so I can use nant for command line compiling and monodev and x-develop for my IDE.

In doing so, I found some problems:
- ASP.NET projects cannot be created
- Needed to exclude directories (not just individual files)
- Monodevelop projects cannot be made to target .NET 2.0
- NAnt build scripts do not add assembly reference paths, nor can refer to GAC assemblies

Attached is a patch which provides the following:

- Project type can now be set to 'AspNet' to generate asp.net project files for vs2003, vs2005, and monodevelop (works with mono 1.2 release). NAnt, autotools, and sharpdevelop have been updated to act the same as library type.

This uses the 'web application' type of project file for the vs2005 target (which is similar to the library project save one line). See http://webproject.scottgu.com/

- Added an <ExcludeMatch> tag, which is similar to the <Match> tag, but will exclude any files that match a particular path/pattern.

- Added monodev2 target to build monodevelop project files that will compile/run using .NET 2.0 (gmcs). Maybe this should be changed to use a command line switch, but works similar to how vs2003 and vs2005 determine the .net version.

- Reference paths included in the prebuild.xml will be output to NAnt build scripts

- If assemblies are referenced from the GAC, the full relative path will be used in NAnt build scripts

I hope these changes can make it into the next release, as they are all pretty much required for my use of prebuild.

I tried to use a similar style of coding to minimize the changes to the code. I hope you (and others) find this useful!

Create an node

Curtis Wensley — Fri, 10 Nov 2006 05:18:03 -0000

Add an <Include file="ProjectA.xml"> to allow
splitting a large solution up into multiple project
xmls and one solution xml.

This would make solutions with many projects very
easy to maintain and re-usable.

A sample solution would look like:

And the project could look like:

</Project>
</Prebuild>

Could you add support for the xacc.ide?
