Info
====
There are two separate .NET clients: one that implements AMQP 0-8 (and
can communicate with the Java broker) and another that implements
0-10 (and can communicate with the C++ broker).
This README contains instructions for building the 0-8 client.
Instructions for building and installing the 0-10 client are located in client-010/README.txt.
Setup
=====
Essential:
.NET 2.0 or later
Ant 1.6.5 (Java build tool, http://ant.apache.org)
Either:
NAnt 0.85 - only required for builds outside Visual Studio
OR
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (VS2008)
Ensure that your PATH includes ant, e.g.:
$ PATH=c:\java\ant\bin:%PATH%
If using nant, set up PATH to include Nant.exe, e.g.:
$ set PATH=C:\dotnet\nant\bin;%PATH%
If using msbuild, it is recommended to use a "Visual Studio Command Prompt"
Building
========
Generate framing from /Qpid.Common/amqp.xml specification file by running this script:
$ build-framing.bat
Alternatively, just switch to /Qpid.Common and run "ant" there.
You can build from Visual Studio 2008 or from the command-line by running msbuild.
The script build-msbuild.bat provides some standard options to do a full build.
If you are using nant, the script build-nant.bat contains standard arguments that do a full build.
To build for Mono on Linux (to bin/mono-2.0) the build-mono shell script is provided.
Releasing
=========
nant can be used to create a release zip archive. A script is provided:
For .NET 2.0
$ release net-2.0
Generates ./bin/net-2.0/release/Qpid.NET-net-2.0-yyyyMMdd.zip
For Mono
$ release mono-2.0
Generates ./bin/mono-2.0/release/Qpid.NET-mono-2.0-yyyyMMdd.zip
