Build errors in Release mode

[mattmobilemedtek]

Hello,

I am trying to build the LightningChart 6.3.1 code in Visual Studio 2013 and am getting some build errors. The solution that I'm loading is ArctionSWNET4. I open the project, set the mode to Release, click Clean Solution and then Build Solution. The 6 errors that I'm getting are listed below. I do not get these errors when I build in Debug mode. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,

there's 'Build instructions for Arction customer.txt' in root of source code archive. The instruction for this problem is in the end of that file.

We are still having these build issues in any configuration other than Debug

Code: Select all

I've tried following the build instructions and removing and re-adding the references as files from the LibNET4 folder but the result is the same. I've also tried adding DirectX as a project reference in Direct3D9 or DirectSound and get the same result. The instructions also show a different error than we are seeing though.

SDK and source solution
-----------------------
If you have both SDK and source solution on the same system you might see the next error when building Direct3D9 or DirectSound projects (a long public key string replaced with <PublicKey> for clarity):

Friend access was granted to 'Arction.Direct3D9, PublicKey=<PublicKey>', but the output assembly is named 'Arction.Direct3D9, Version=6.1.5367.25500, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. Try adding a reference to 'Arction.Direct3D9, PublicKey=<PublicKey>' or changing the output assembly name to match.

To solve this problem you need to remove Arction.DirectX.dll reference from both Direct3D9 and DirectSound projects in Visual Studio solution explorer and then add new reference to Arction.DirectX.dll from LibNET2 (or LibNET4 depending on the target framework) folder. Then rebuild the solution.

Any ideas?

Try if this works: clean your solution, close Visual Studio, delete both bin and obj folders from your project(s) folder and then start Visual Studio and build your solution.

Adding the following Pre-Build command line event on the Arction.DirectX solves the problem:

Code: Select all

powershell "gci -inc bin,obj,*.dll,*.pdb,*.dll.check -exclude Arction.Licensing.dll,Arction.MathCore.Core32.dll,Arction.MathCore.Core64.dll -rec | ?{ $_.fullname -notmatch "DX\d\d" } | rm -rec -force"

Because all the build configurations have a common output directory, there is a lot of cleanup that needs to happen to get changing configurations to work properly with the SharpCli stuff. The tricky part is that there are some dll's that shouldn't get deleted. I think the pre-build event above accounts for everything.
