Building MSBee
MSBee requires additional tools to be installed in order to build:
- Code analysis on MSBee is performed by FxCop 1.35 RC 1, which is available at http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/fxcop/
- Unit tests for MSBee are developed and run using NUnit 2.2.7, which is available at http://www.nunit.org
- The MSBee installer is built with WiX 2.0.3719, which is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/wix/
Step 0: Download the tools listed above.
Step 1: Download the latest MSBee sources on the
Source Code pageStep 2: Open the MSBee.Settings.targets file. This file is located in the solution directory.
You will find the following tags for each of the tools listed above:
<FxCopExtDir> </FxCopExtDir>
<NUnitDir> </NUnitDir>
<WiXDir> </WiXDir>
Step 3: Set these properties to the tools' installation directories.
Be sure to include a trailing slash in each path.For example:
<WiXDir>C:\tools\WiX\2.0.3719\</WiXDir>
Step 4: Close and reopen the solution, when inside the VS IDE, to pick up the new tool locations.
