MacOS Pinta 2.2 beta, Can't build Pinta 2.2 beta #768

Closed Mr-Conifer closed 2 months ago

Mr-Conifer commented 2 months ago

Can't build Pinta 2.2 beta.

I followed instructions at <>Code tab, ran first two commands. Worked perfectly. However, running the third command caused an error

MSBUILD : error MSB1009: project file doesn't exist. Key: Pinta

MacOS Sonoma 14.4.1, Pinta 2.2 beta

This works for me on macOS - could you let me know the exact command you were running, which folder you were running it from, and your dotnet --version?

Mr-Conifer commented 2 months ago

dotnet run --project Pinta dotnet --version 8.0.204

Mr-Conifer commented 2 months ago

What's a "folder" you are asking about?

cameronwhite commented 2 months ago

Thanks. I was wondering if you were running these commands from the top-level directory of the repository, or some subfolder. Otherwise, I'm not sure why it isn't working for you if the other commands like dotnet build did work.

Alternatively, you should be able to just run dotnet build/bin/Pinta.dll to launch Pinta rather than dotnet run ...

Mr-Conifer commented 2 months ago

Still didn't help... Maybe the thing is something to do about the "folder" thing?

What is the output of pwd, or ls Pinta.sln ?

Mr-Conifer commented 2 months ago

mhlkhrpchnk@MacBook-Air-Mhl ~ % pwd /Users/mhlkhrpchnk

mhlkhrpchnk@MacBook-Air-Mhl ~ % =ls Pinta.sln ls: Pinta.sln: No such file or directory

Mr-Conifer commented 2 months ago

Am I just a silly guy that doesn't know how to get that .sln file?

Mr-Conifer commented 2 months ago

I mean... I assumed that building tutorial contained ALL the steps... How naive)))

cameronwhite commented 2 months ago

Pinta.sln is in the root folder of the Pinta repository, so you need to do cd path/to/Pinta depending on where you cloned the Pinta git repository to on your system. It looks like you are just executing those commands from your home folder

The tutorial steps assume that you are executing the commands from the root folder of the source code

Thank you! I'm too new at all this "command line" stuff
