[CLOSED] [2.0] Build with ILMerge

[Timothy]

Hello,

Has anyone tested building Ext.Net with the post build templates in Microsoft .NET 4.0? I've added the following to the the Ext.Net project post build event:

"$(ProjectDir)Build\ILMerge\ILMerge.exe" /ndebug /keyfile:"$(ProjectDir)Properties\Ext.Net.snk" /out:"$(ProjectDir)Build\Results\Ext.Net.dll" "$(ProjectDir)$(OutDir)Ext.Net.dll" /log:"$(ProjectDir)Build\Results\ILMerge_Log.txt" "$(ProjectDir)$(OutDir)Newtonsoft.Json.dll" "$(ProjectDir)$(OutDir)Ext.Net.Utilities.dll"

Here is what is returned in the ILMerge_Log.txt:

ILMerge: Writing target assembly 'D:\Application\Library\Required Dependencies\Ext.NET\Source\2.0.0.DP1\Ext.Net\Build\Results\Ext.Net.dll'.
An exception occurred during merging:

   at ILMerging.ILMerge.Main(String[] args)

Suggestions?

Hi,

I guess it also won't work in out of the post build events context.

I found this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5...system-web-mvc

Hope this helps.

Thanks! I'll build without ILMerge for now and look into it later, I found the same article, I've also found that the Microsoft developers of ILMerge are talking about problems with .NET v4.

Cheers,
Timothy

Thanks for the update.

Do you mind we close the thread since the problem appears to be not related to Ext.NET?

Anyways, feel free to update the thread with new details.

Agreed you can close this one.

Cheers,
Timothy
