2 The scripts in this directory are used to:
4 * Extract the order, compiler and compilation flags for all
7 * Generate csproj files from the previous step
9 * Support the generated csproj file
11 The idea is to ensure that we do not miss any compilation flag,
12 define, resource, reference, icon or any other element that might be
13 necessary to build the Mono class libraries.
15 * Extracting the Compilation Metadata
17 The first step is to extract the compilation metadata from the
18 existing Makefiles. This is done in stages, first a fully
19 working Mono compilation setup is required, and second the data
22 The extraction is done like this, from the toplevel Mono
27 With this input, it is possible to generate an XML file, to do
32 This will generate order.xml, this contains the ordered list in
33 which directories must be compiled as well as the command line
34 options used to build it.
36 * Generate csproj files
41 To generate the "order" file, run the command: make csproj in the mcs directory on a fully
42 configured Mono setup (Linux or Cygwin)
