AjaxMin task is missing and prevents build #112

Closed intellifactory-bb closed 9 years ago

intellifactory-bb commented 9 years ago

I'm trying to build WebSharper from source. Using the latest check-in (2.5.2 Alpha), I can't find a way to build. The Downloads page doesn't have the AjaxMin task, and Mono.Cecil doesn't seem to be getting pulled it either.

Please advise!

What happens when you start from a fresh checkout and (as the instructions suggest) run MSBuild in the root folder? If it does not build, can you post the build log with the error? It seems to build on my machine. Also, if you are just looking for the binaries, you can pull WebSharper 2.5.2-alpha from NuGet. Thanks. --Anton

I haven't given up on building yet :) I really appreciate that this project is open source, and I'd like to start contributing code back eventually.

I've tried MSBuild, it does pull in all the required files; however, when the time comes to load FSharp.Core.dll, it doesn't find the right version of the assembly. Error message attached.

I have since discovered that the build only really works with the F# 3.0 compiler installed. To quickly install that, see, for example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12421873/is-there-a-way-to-install-f-3-0-without-visual-studio

My idea with 2.5 is to build against F# 3.0 runtime so that everything uses F# 2.3.0.0 and F# 4.3.0.0; this should in principle work on other systems. I am also switching to a matrix build (still need to commit that) so that the NuGet package gets two working copies of WebSharper, one cleanly built for 4.0 runtime with F# 4.3.0.0 and another for the 3.5 runtime with F# 2.3.0.0. I am still figuring out some details of the build, please bear with me.

Contributions would be awesome. Have you built anything with WebSharper? Our current weakest link is perhaps docs and tutorials, I would love to prominently feature any apps you've made - bonus points if they are open-source.

It is only my opinion, so take it for what it's worth, but in my experience documentation (or lack thereof) was never a problem because the PDF document that you can download from the website is a very good introduction to the capabilities and limitations of Websharper, and any other question that I had was answered by looking at the source code.

I am currently building a MS-Access-like CRUD builder for the web. I have nothing but admiration for the open source community, but on the other hand commercial considerations trump ideological ones. I might release it under the AGPL or a similarly restricted license much like you did, so the code is there for everyone to seen tweak or inspire themselves from, but the product still maintains commercial viability.

Open or not, if you do not mind going on record about using WebSharper, we will happily mention your project - give us a link and a screenshot when there's something to show.

I have some good news - I finally have a working build of the WebSharper project on AppHarbor (which does not have F# 3.0 installed). Could you try now? Thanks.

I will try once I get home. By the way, thank you for maintaining an up-to-date GitHub repository! I'll be proposing my patches via pull requests on GitHub.

Well it builds on my work machine :) Thanks infinitely!

Great! Concerning contributions: patches on GitHub work great. We are def. open to accepting patches. I would suggest, if you are considering doing some changes that are not a one-liner, start a ticket here discussing them. This way we can talk about it and also make sure that two people are not working on the same thing. Thanks!

Fixed, thanks Anton :)
