Hello All,
I wish Portable.NET had a better method of handling the library path issues
and conflicts between pnet libs and mono libs. Right now, if I use the
-nostdlib option of cscc, cscc will still use pnet's mscorlib.dll even if I
specifically include Mono's corlib.dll in the path. This is a problem for
cases where I am trying to compile something with cscc that has dependencies
upon something implemented in Mono's corlib, but not in pnet's.
I have setup a csant build system that can compile mono's System.Xml.dll with
mcs, but when using cscc, the build fails with unresolved types. So, to get
around this and see if it'd work I manually cp'd Mono's corlib.dll and
System.dll to /cscc/lib and renamed to mscorlib.dll (btw, I think cscc should
try to load corlib if mscorlib isn't there) but I received this error:
/usr/local/lib/cscc/lib/mscorlib.dll: unresolved external references
I wish NAnt and csant build files would be 100% compatible that way we could
use either build tool ... From a little experiment I know that the Mono NAnt
build files will not work with csant :( Perhaps, the NAnt folks would be
interested in a more general DTD ...
Cheers,
Adam
PS I can not find any comprehensive DTD or doc for csant and how to use it.
The only thing I can find are examples from other builds ...
Here is an example of a csant build and NAnt side-by-side:
************ csant build file *****************
<?xml version="1.0">
<project name="System.XML" default="all">
<target name="all">
<compile output="System.Xml.dll" target="library" optimize="true">
<arg compiler="mcs" value="--noconfig" />
<arg compiler="cscc" value="-w" />
<references>
<file name="corlib" />
<file name="System" />
</references>
<sources>
<includes name="**/*.cs" />
<excludes name="System.Xml/Driver.cs" />
<excludes name="System.Xml/Profile.cs" />
<excludes name="Test/**" />
</sources>
</compile>
</target>
</project>
************* NAnt build file ****************
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!-- NAnt build file for System.XML.dll -->
<project name="System.XML" default="build">
<property name="debug" value="false"/>
<target name="build">
<mkdir dir="../lib"/>
<csc target="library" output="../lib/System.Xml.dll" debug="${debug}">
<!-- 'foo' is defined in multiple places; using definition
from 'bar' -->
<arg value="/nowarn:1595"/>
<!-- Other languages may permit the internal virtual member
'foo' to be
overridden -->
<arg value="/nowarn:0679"/>
<arg value="/nowarn:0649"/>
<sources>
<includes name="**/*.cs"/>
<excludes name="Test/**"/>
<!--excludes name="System.Xml.Serialization/**"/-->
</sources>
</csc>
<copy file="../lib/System.Xml.dll" tofile="Test/System.XML.dll"/>
<nant basedir="Test" target="build"/>
</target>
</project>
