Ha! Sorry, I wrote in haste, and that crap was what came out. :-) I created a file names WixBuild.Core.targets, and I moved the following items from WixBuild.Common.targets:
- CheckRequiredProperties and GetSdkDirectories targets - All of the UsingTask statements, with accompanying targets - In the ItemGroup for .csproj I moved the <AvailableItemName> statements. - The GetBuildDirectories target (I suspect that would be more appropriate for the WixBuild.Common.targets, but I just wanted it to work quickly) - I also duplicated the <MSBuildAllProjects> element, and included the new filename. My goal was to split out the targets I would need to build an extension (MsgGenSource, XsdGenSource, etc) without inheriting all the "bonus features" that the wix toolkit uses to share configuration, etc. Specifically, I didn't want my output directory overridden, and I didn't want my assembly version overwritten. I could trim the file down a lot more by providing a WixSdkPath property in the core, and moving all the items I need into that folder, instead of working from the source distro. As I said, I just wanted it to work, more than I wanted it to be totally "correct". I will be cleaning it up a lot now, since I have to move this whole thing over to my CI Build server, so, I would be happy to share the final version (or any iteration in between, for that matter). I'd be willing to contribute directly to the projects, but I hear it's a big hassle to get things included into the project.. Paperwork, approval process, etc. So, if you want me to send attachments or whatever, then let me know. :-D Chris On Tue, Jul 15, 2008 at 11:24 AM, Bob Arnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Christopher Karper wrote: > > has a bunch of items for build the Wix toolset itself as well.
