[IronPython] Building IronPython from sources

[Dave Fugate]

Hi Lukas, the error message below is because you don't have the version of Silverlight installed which was used to build IronPython 2.6.1.  For this particular release, I believe it was something like "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Silverlight\3.0.40624.0".  You can find out for sure by examining the "<Silverlight3Path>" element in Src\IronPython\IronPython.csproj.  Any ways, there are two workarounds:

*         Replace all instances of "3.0.40624.0" throughout all C# project files with the version of Silverlight you have installed locally

*         Copy and rename the version of Silverlight you have installed to whatever is expected by the C# project files

Hope that helps,

Dave

Hi all,
I have one wish for the next release of IronPython 2.6.2 (hope it is not too late...) - please make sure it is possible to build IronPython binaries from sources. I have downloaded IronPython-2.6.1-Src-Net20SP1.zip<http://ironpython.codeplex.com/releases/view/36280#DownloadId=116512> and I there is no way for me to build Silverlight binaries from it...

I have opened the solution in VS 2010, solution file was converted to the new version, I selected 'Silverlight Debug' as a solution configuration and I received meny errors as below when building Microsoft.Scripting.dll:

Error    11    The type 'System.SerializableAttribute' exists in both 'c:\IronPython-2.6.1\Bin\Silverlight Debug\Microsoft.Scripting.Core.dll' and 'c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\mscorlib.dll'    C:\IronPython-2.6.1\Src\Runtime\Microsoft.Scripting\ArgumentTypeException.cs    20    6    Microsoft.Scripting
Error    12    The type or namespace name 'Serializable' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)    C:\IronPython-2.6.1\Src\Runtime\Microsoft.Scripting\ArgumentTypeException.cs    20    6    Microsoft.Scripting

My goal was to build debug-able Microsoft.Scripting.Silverlight.dll because I'm receiving AddReference error which I'd like to inspect.
