How to build AqlaSerializer?

inethui opened this issue 3 years ago · 11 comments

I want to use AqlaSerializer to replace the .NET binary formatter we are currently using.

It would be very helpful if I can debug into AqlaSerializer's source code. I have downloaded the source code from its github site. The download includes a very short description about the build, which I could not follow. If you can show me some instructions of how to build it, it would be great.

You can use prebuilt nuget packages. If you need to debug the source code please specify what exactly issues you have in following the instructions. Also mind that some platforms are not supported in latest VS or require installing additional SDKs. Though you might not need to build for those platforms at all. And you don't need to build all projects in the solution.

Answer 2 · 2022-03-23T08:33:03.000Z

I updated the build instruction, please try to follow it and ask here if you have issues: https://github.com/AqlaSolutions/AqlaSerializer/blob/master/READ%20IF%20YOU%20WANT%20TO%20BUILD.txt

I’m trying to use .NET reflection to build the Aqla metadata model. However, when I ran “CompileInPlace”, it failed with error: ProtoException: Type System.Double can't be handled as reference I checked my code, there is no place that a double type or field is set with “metaType.AsReferenceDefault = true”. How to trouble-shoot this kind of issue? Is there a debug flag to turn on more detailed error messages?

I can't answer your question without a reproducable example.

You don't need to use any reflection to call methods inside AqlaSerializer. You can use RuntimeTypeModel API to configure things.

I downloaded “RunSharp” source file “runsharp-v.1.0.23.zip”, where should I put its content? My AqlaSerializer source code is in “D:\AqlaSerializer\AqlaSerializer-v.2.0.1.0”.

Answer 7 · 2022-03-23T15:25:31.000Z

Don't build whole solution. You should try to build only one project: aqlaserializer.csproj. RunSharp files should be in ..\RunSharp\src\RunSharp which is D:\AqlaSerializer\RunSharp\src\RunSharp in your case. You can verify the path from Solution Explorer (RunSharp is in the solution and should be loaded). Also you won't be able build until you generate snk keys.

Answer 8 · 2022-03-23T15:52:11.000Z

Vladyslav, Thanks for updating the build instruction. I’m following it to build the downloaded source code. There is a problem, .NET Framework Developer Pack 4.5 is no longer supported and not available for download. So I downloaded and installed version 4.5.2. However, AqlaSerializer doesn’t seem to accept it, and insist on finding 4.5. This is the error message: Error MSB3644 The reference assemblies for .NETFramework,Version=v4.5 were not found. To resolve this, install the Developer Pack (SDK/Targeting Pack) for this framework version or retarget your application. You can download .NET Framework Developer Packs at https://aka.ms/msbuild/developerpacks Is there a way to let AqlaSerializer use .NET Framework 4.5.2?

Answer 9 · 2022-03-23T17:45:05.000Z

You don't need to search any SDKs online. When opening the solution VS 2022 prompts to install everything needed, including the proper version .NET Framework.

Please reopen if you need more help

Answer 11 · 2022-04-03T17:14:27.000Z

I pushed some changes in an effort to simplify the build process. You should be able to build solution except MonoDroid project after installing everything what Visual Studio suggests and putting PEVerify.exe into the Tools directory.
