nuget install support? #2

Closed dirkraft closed 8 years ago

dirkraft commented 8 years ago

Is there a way to nuget install this? I'm new to C#, .NET, and adding libraries into my project so my question might not even make sense. I am developing on a Mac, so am testing the full extent of limitations of Unity's Mono, particularly that it most resembles .NET 3.5 (from what I understand).

I was able to nuget install protobuf3 -Pre (https://github.com/emikra/protobuf3-cs) to my Unity project, but it is based on protobuf v3.0.0-beta-2 and I need beta-3 for some reasons of convenience. This repo seems to represent that.

Hello dirkraft

We do not provide NuGet packages, since those make few sense with Unity, unfortunately.

What I may advice you is to checkout the v3.0.0-beta-3 branch here https://github.com/bitcraftCoLtd/protobuf3-for-unity/tree/v3.0.0-beta-3 then build it, and eventually drop the produced .dll file in the Asssets/Plugins folder of your Unity project.

I hope this help.

Sometimes the nuget packages seem to work with unity (I'm using some version of LibNoise from there). There are some problems building protobuf c# on mono. I'll have to try to figure that out, but it's not specifically a problem with this project. Thanks for the reply and advice.

For the record, there is now a release archive so that you no longer have to build the source yourself: https://github.com/bitcraftCoLtd/protobuf3-for-unity/releases
