Markdown Moster Solution does not build correctly

[jmclain]

I mentioned in my last pull request that I was unable to successfully compile the full Markdown Monster solution which is why I removed the web project. My bad. I should just have left it in. Additionally the two addins would not compile. Here is what I discovered.

In the latest Markdown Monster on Github the Screen Capture and Weblog Addin reference Westwind.Utilities but they are not listed in there respective packages.config file; so they do not restore and we have compilation errors. You probably reference the library locally. The utilities are referenced correctly by Markdown Monster.

I also get an error for the Website project when the solution builds.

"Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.CSharpCodeProvider, 
Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform, Version=1.0.3.0, Culture=neutral, 
PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" could not be located.  

Don't know what this error is. I have the ASP.NET bits installed but I don't use it.

thanks,

I updated project and fixed the references in the various projects. Also updated the CodeDOm provider to the latest package version which should help with the Web Project loading. It's a Web site project so this should work with a minimal Web package install in VS.

Give pulling another try and see if you get a clean building project - it works for me on my separate test machine but the install on it is pretty similar to main box.

On a first build everything builds without errors. Build a second time and no issues with Markdown Monster and the addins; however, I get this error for the website:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error The CodeDom provider

Don't know what's going on there.

That path looks funky - is that where things should be? The extra temp folder?

That's where I put a clean download of mm, did not want to mess up my modified version which is at:

D:\Work\2017 Forward\Markdown Monster Addins\MarkdownMonster

Since you don't see the web project error I'm going to assume I'm missing something on my machine, and close this issue!

Thanks,
