Setting up

• Any system that supports .NET 2.0 or Mono 2.0
• Visual Studio 2008 SP1. We will be developing MonoDevelop project files also.
  • Will need to install SP1 after installing VS 2008
• Visual Studio 2008 SDK 1.1
• NUnit 2.4 or later
• Wix (latest build of 3 should work)
• Sandcastle
• Sandcastle Help File Builder
• TestDriven.net
• The Best SVN client period

Building

• When this wiki refers to a command line client it is usually referring to a Visual Studio 2008 command prompt and normally opened with elevated privs.
• The first time you build you will get errors about some projects failing to cryptographically sign. The reason is that each non-test package is signed with a key that we keep private. This key is installed into a key container named ConnectorNet. It is not necessary to have the official key to build the product so you can use your own with the following two commands.
  • sn -k 1024 cnet.snk
  • sn -i cnet.snk ConnectorNet

Running test suites

• A mysqld server is started with the following command line: mysqld --no-defaults --standalone --console --max-allowed-packet=250M --enable-named-pipe --shared-memory.
• Each test suite is then run either through the NUnit GUI or normally using TestDriven.net
