Update Prebuild.exe with Prebuild r323 + an existing OpenSim specific nant hack to correctly clean up chosen OpenSim exes and dlls in bin/ on a "nant clean"
Source code is included for reference. This can go away again once Prebuild is updated with a more general mechanism for cleaning up files. The Prebuild source code here can be built with nant, or regnerated for other tools using the prebuild at {root}/bin/Prebuild.exe

1Prebuild Instructions
2
3Prebuild is an XML-driven pre-build tool allowing developers to easily generate project or make files for major IDE's and .NET development tools including: Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio 2003, Visual Studio 2002, SharpDevelop, SharpDevelop2, MonoDevelop, and NAnt.
4
5_______________________________________________________________________________
6Overview
7
8Prebuild can be either be run from the command line to generate the
9project and make files or you can execute the included batch (*.bat)
10and Unix Shell script (*.sh) files.
11
12_______________________________________________________________________________
13The currently supported developement tools and their associated batch
14and shell script files.
15
16Visual Studio .NET 2005 (VS2005.bat)
17Visual Studio .NET 2003 (VS2003.bat)
18Visual Studio .NET 2002 (VS2002.bat)
19SharpDevelop (SharpDevelop.bat) - http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/
20SharpDevelop2 (SharpDevelop.bat) - http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/
21MonoDevelop (MonoDevelop.sh) - http://www.monodevelop.com/
22NAnt (nant.sh and nant.bat) - http://nant.sourceforge.net/
23Autotools (autotools.bat and autotools.sh) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_build_system
24
25Notes:
26
27A Unix Shell script is provided for MonoDevelop, as it does not run on
28Windows at this time.
29
30Visual Studio .NET 2005 and the Visual Express IDE's can import
31solutions from older versions of Visual Studio .NET.
32
33Makefiles are not currently supported.
34
35_______________________________________________________________________________
36Command Line Syntax:
37
38Example:
39> Prebuild /target vs2003
40
41This will generate the project files for Visual Studio.NET 2003 and
42place the redirect the log to a file named PrebuildLog.txt in the
43parent directory
44
45
46The syntax structure is as below, where commandParameter is optional
47depending on the command and you can provide several option-value
48pairs.
49
50Note: The '> ' signifies the command prompt, do not enter this literally
51
52> Prebuild /<option> <commandParameter>
53
54> Prebuild /target vs2003 /pause
55
56> Prebuild /target vs2003 /log ../Log.txt /pause /ppo /file ProjectConfig.xml
57
58> Prebuild /target sharpdev /log
59
60> Prebuild /removedir obj|bin
61
62> Prebuild /target vs2003 /allowedgroups Group1|Group2
63
64> Prebuild /clean
65
66> Prebuild /clean /yes
67
68> Prebuild /clean vs2003
69
70_______________________________________________________________________________
71Command Line Options:
72
73/usage - Shows the help information on how to use Prebuild and what
74the different options are and what they do
75
76/clean - The project files generated for the target type specified as
77a parameter for this option will be deleted. If no value is specified
78or if 'all' is specified, then project files for all the target types
79will be deleted.
80
81/target - Specified the name of the development tool for which project
82or make files will be generated. Possible parameter values include:
83vs2003, vs2002, sharpdev
84
85/file - Specifies the name of the XML which defines what files are to
86be referenced by the generated project files as well as configures the
87options for them. If not specified, prebuild.xml in the current
88directory will be used as the default.
89
90/log - Specified the log file that should be written to for build
91errors. If this option is not specified, no log file is generated,
92but if just no value is specified, then the defaul filename will be
93used for the log (Prebuild.log).
94
95/ppo - Preprocesses the xml file to test for syntax errors or problems
96but doesn't generate the files
97
98/pause - Shows the console until you press a key so that you can view
99the messages written while performing the specified actions.
100
101This allows you to check if an errors occurred and - if so - what it
102was.
103
104/showtargets - Shows a list of all the targets that can be specified
105as values for the /clean and /target commands.
106
107/allowedgroups - This is followed by a pipe-delimited list of project
108group filter flags (eg. Group1|Group2) allow optional filtering of all
109projects that dont have at least one of these flags
110
111/removedir - This is followed by a pipe-delimited list of directory
112names that will be deleted while recursivly searching the directory of
113the prebuild application and its child directories (eg. use obj|bin to
114delete all output and temporary directories before file releases)
115
116/yes - Answer yes to any warnings (e.g. when cleaning all projects).
117
118_______________________________________________________________________________
119Example Batch Files and Shell Scripts
120
121NOTE: Common batch and shell script files are included with Prebuild source and file releases.
122______________________________
123MonoDevelop
124
125#!/bin/sh
126# Generates a solution (.mds) and a set of project files (.mdp)
127
128# for MonoDevelop, a Mono port of SharpDevelop
129# (http://icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/Default.aspx)
130
131./Prebuild /target monodev /pause
132
133______________________________
134Visual Studio .NET 2003
135
136@rem Generates a solution (.sln) and a set of project files (.csproj)
137@rem for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2002
138Prebuild /target vs2003 /pause
139
140Notes:
141Text after lines that start with @rem are comments and are not evaluated
142You can also place pause on the last line instead of specifing the /pause command.
143
144_______________________________________________________________________________
145Example XML Configuration File
146
147Note:
148
149XML Comments (<!-- Comment -->) are used to markup the prebuild.xml
150file with notes
151
152The below file may be out-of-date, however the RealmForge Prebuild
153file serves as an up-to-date and extensive example.
154
155It can be viewed using Tigris.org's WebSVN
156(http://realmforge.tigris.org/source/browse/realmforge/trunk/src/prebuild.xml)
157by just clicking on the "view file" link for the latest revision.
