Hi.

I do not have VS.NET.

I have app source made up of .cs and .resx files, and a .csproj file.

How do I build this app without VS.NET?

(Of course I have Framework SDK.)

Can I use nmake somehow? Or do I need something like SharpDevelop
with VS.Net Importer/Exporter. Or NAnt?

Thanks!

You could use the Visual C# .NET Compiler, just look for CSC.EXE. This
compiler is used by VS.NET too when you compile your solution in VS.NET. So
you can manually (without VS.NET) achieve the same.

Alhtough using NAnt will simplify some things.

Jan,

I tried to write some batch files to build a number of assemblies in a
particular but could not figure out how to get the compiler to read the
"proj" files. Also I noticed that the samples folders do not include any
proj files.

Any Suggestions?
Dan
 
You can't use the project or solutions files. You must specify all compiler
options manually.
