HomeGenie_Linux solution

[Wibo]

Hi all,

Check this thread for background info:http://www.homegenie.it/forum/index.php?topic=646.0

Got the windows solution compiling, this time without hacks, didn't run or debug it yet.
The linux solution however is still bugging me, there is something I don't know.

VS2014Community is giving me this error at startup:
This version of Visual Studio is unable to open the following projects. The project types may not be installed or this version of Visual Studio may not support them.
For more information on enabling these project types or otherwise migrating your assets, please see the details in the "Migration Report" displayed after clicking OK.
    - Packager, "C:\DataOnVmware\HomeGenie\trunk\HomeGenie_Linux\Packager\Packager.mdproj"

Google only got me confused about the mdproj extension.
I can edit, reload and delete the project, no building options for me.
What plugin am I missing?

Regards,
Wibo.

my guess would be that you're missing the mono framework

Hi Wibo,

you can ignore the error since that project is meant for building debian linux install package (.deb file).
So if you want to build HG for Linux from Windows, just build the entire solution and then you'll get all HG files in
HomeGenie/HomeGenie/bin/Debug folder.

Cheers,
g.

Hi Gene,

I just want you to know that building a linux package was exactly my goal.
Investigated your SQLite code and it doesn't change so much.

Managed projects and the last thing I wanted was a stranger building releases.
Think I can get away with xcopy deployment.
If not I'll ask for help.

Thanks again Gene!

PS: Still wondering what you use to build a linux package.
