Hi Ian,
Thanks for implementing support for multiple runtimes, but I had still have
issues if I want to use it for building assemblies for the .NET Compact
Framework. The following is an example of what a configuration section for
the .NET Compact Framework could look like :
<frameworkinfo
name = "NETCF-1.0"
description = "Microsoft .Net Compact Framework Framework 1.0"
version = "1.1.4322"
RuntimeEngine=""
CsharpCompilerName = "csc"
ResGenName = "cfresgen"
>
<SdkDirectory useregistry="true"
regkey="Software\Microsoft\.NetCompactFramework" regvalue="sdkInstallRoot"
/>
<frameworkDirectory useregistry="true"
regkey="Software\Microsoft\.NetFramework" regvalue="InstallRoot" />
</frameworkinfo>
However, this will not work because :
- The .NET CF uses the SDk directory of the .NET 1.1 framework sdk for all
tools (like sn, gacutil...), but it does not use the .NET 1.1 framework sdk
for generating resource files (resgen), for resgen the location should be
the value of the Software\Microsoft\.NetCompactFramework\SdkInstallRoot +
"v1.0.5000" ( + "bin", but you already do this in code)"
- We should have a different setting for specifying the location of the
system assemblies (eg. RuntimeAssemblyStore), because the .NET Compact
Framework must use the system assemblies that are located in <value of
Software\Microsoft\.NetCompactFramework\sdkInstallRoot> + "v1.0.5000\Windows
Ce".
Would it be possible to add this ?
By the way the FrameworkDirectory is fine for .NET Compact Framework because
it uses the .NET Framework 1.1 csc and .NET 1.1 assembly linker.
The .NET CF actually has version number 1.0.5000, but it also relies on the
.NET Framework 1.1 ... so it actually has two version numbers ... one should
be used for locating the Framework directory, and one should be used for
locating the .NET Compact Framework sdk directory.
I certainly don't mean to sound negative about the work you've been done,
it's really great !!!! But it's not enough for building a .NET CF assembly
...
By the way, if you intend to allow settings to be configured for individual
tasks (there already entries for this in the settings file), you should
perhaps confsider allowing these settings to be configured on the runtime
level for each task (separate settings for the csc task running in NET-1.0
runtime and csc task running in Mono-020 runtime).
Thanks,
Gert
