Building and modifying IronRuby’s second drop
Seo Sanghyeon has put together a nant build which is by far the easiest way to build the new drop of IronRuby. Download this nant file and put it in the src folder, and then just run nant. If you do not have nant yet, get it here. Once you run this build file, you will have a new rbx.exe and Ruby.dll in the same src folder.
The newest drop did not come with a sln file. John Lam noted that he needs to create one, but for now here is one I put together. The first step is to get this sln file, and put it in the root of the IronRuby project where the RakeFile is. The next step is to download this zip file of replacement csproj files, and then replace the proj files in the src and utils folders with the included ones.
I had to replace those proj files because they were being signed and the key was not provided. I thought about doing it all with a new key, but that would have required new proj files as well, so now signing has been removed from all the projects. With this solution you can open, edit, F5, and debug the newest drop, at least until the team prepares a proper set of proj and sln files.
