Change to Protobuild project about velcrophysics HOT 4 CLOSED

I'll take a look at it in the weekend and see what it has to offer.

from velcrophysics.

Looks interesting - I'm not entirely sure how to build the definition file as I have many projects depending on each other etc.

I would be happy if someone with experience in Protobuild could sketch up a solution and contribute it.

Maybe the project owner @hach-que can help?

Sure, what do you need?

Referencing another Protobuild definition or a GAC reference

Just add it to the references section like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project Name="ProjectA" Path="ProjectA" Type="Library">
  <Properties />
  <References>
    <Reference Include="System" />
    <Reference Include="System.Core" />
    <Reference Include="ProjectB" />
  </References>

Referencing DLLs in your repo, native DLLs or custom .csproj files

First you need to declare an external project definition (see http://protobuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/external_projects.html for information on how these are structured and what you can do with them). Then you'd reference the external project just as you would any other Protobuild definition:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project Name="ProjectA" Path="ProjectA" Type="Library">
  <Properties />
  <References>
    <Reference Include="System" />
    <Reference Include="System.Core" />
    <Reference Include="ExternalProject" />
  </References>

Referencing NuGet packages:

First add the package to your module by running:

Protobuild.exe --add NameOfNuGetPackage@SpecificVersion

then reference the NuGet package:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project Name="ProjectA" Path="ProjectA" Type="Library">
  <Properties />
  <References>
    <Reference Include="System" />
    <Reference Include="System.Core" />
    <Reference Include="SomeNuGetPackage" />
  </References>

Referencing a Git repository

If you want to reference another Git repository that's using Protobuild (like MonoGame), you first add the Git repository as a package e.g.:

Protobuild.exe --add https-git://github.com/MonoGame/MonoGame@develop

then reference the specific projects in the package you want to pull in:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project Name="ProjectA" Path="ProjectA" Type="Library">
  <Properties />
  <References>
    <Reference Include="System" />
    <Reference Include="System.Core" />
    <Reference Include="MonoGame.Framework" />
  </References>
