Compiler exit code:1
Compiler failure!!

How do I add references ? For bflat we set -r. whats best advice on that ?

xiaoyuvax commented 1 year ago

specify --target:WinExe if you are compiling a winform program. This will sign bflat the compiler to add supporting libs, instead of adding yourself.

I'm not sure where I provide it ? image

xiaoyuvax commented 1 year ago

i think you should also serve the --pr:<packageroot> option,so that Bflata can search for package references. but have to say in the first place that compiling winform program is still problematic for bflat, and even with NativeAOT. and still, you should use --resgen: option to turn on two --feature: args, rather than modfiying the default path to resgen.exe in the code.

xiaoyuvax commented 1 year ago

and also you'd better direct the -h: option to the home of your solution, instead of the executing path.

graysuit commented 1 year ago

packageroot ? If I understand, its for nuget packages, right ? But I don't have any. Just an .net dll and an native dll.

Also its thinking my net is 7.0:

TargetFx        :net7.0

But my dotnet installed at C:\Program Files\dotnet\shared\Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App\5.0.17

xiaoyuvax commented 1 year ago

Yes, you may ignore -pr if no nuget packages referenced. but seems that Shell32 is something referenced. What is it?

According to my experience, bflat will add references to the shared framework Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App of its own(net7) if you specified --target:winexe, and such error as "The type or namespace name 'Forms' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Windows' ..." would be eliminated. but seems not the case according to ur output.

graysuit commented 1 year ago

Shell32 is present at C:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll

Yes --target:winexe didn't help. It still need references. But atleast its still great to automatically parse csproj files and put in one.

So are there any manual way of referencing ?

xiaoyuvax commented 1 year ago

`"C:\Users\gray\Desktop\BigThumbs\Classes\helper.cs(1,7): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Shell32' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)" this line seems weird.

if you are referenceing Shell32.dll with DLLImport, it should not appear in the compilation process, cos it's a Dynamic Link Library, which should not participate in the compilation. i.e. the compiler would not take on it. Otherwise, i wonder if you reference Shell32.dll as a COM object library?

Can you show me the .cspoj file where you reference Shell32.dll?

graysuit commented 1 year ago

Yes its com reference. Here's my csproj file:

<COMReference Include="Shell32"> here it is, COM dll makes it complicated, and BFlatA now doesn't process this type of reference so far cos no path is directly given in the .csporj to the .dll file, and i also don't know if -r option works with bflat. You may add the path to shell32.dll with -r option in the generated build.rsp file manually, and check if bflat could compile with it (i.e. you won't see any error related to shell32.dll) .

seems bflat, the compiler doesn't support reference to COM dll. like Shell32.dll.

I just tried to build a winform project of my own successfully and found that -pr: option is needed, so that dependencies of Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App can be added. therefore you must have dotnet7 installed firstly. and seems the WinExe is only related if you don't want your WinForm program launched out of a console window.

and there is a small bug in parsing the Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App path, i've updated the code just now.
