Build .NET CF Apps using Command Prompt

[Guest]

Hello,

I using Ant to automate build cycles, I would like to know what parameters I need to send to csc to identify the application as a .Net CF app.

TIA,
Karthik

The two main important switches are /noconfig and /nostdlib.

/noconfig will mean the compiler does not use the options defined in its
csc.rsp file.
/nostdlib means you MUST reference Mscorlib.dll explicitly

For everything else, you must reference any other .NET CF assemblies
your application uses using the full path to the assemblies. Please go
read the blog post I made on this very subject.

Hello,

you may also consider to use NAnt's "-defaultframework:<framework>" command
line switch. The NAnt version I'm using has build-in support for .NET
v1.0/v1.1/v1.2, .NET CF v1.0 and Mono v1.0. You can easily modify the
settings, add new frameworks or change the default framework by modifing the
"NAnt.exe.config" XML file (located in the \bin directory).

Greetings, Christian
