Windows:
- Check out the repository using git.
- Execute
git submodule update --init --recursive
to get all required submodules. - Use ILSpy.sln to work.
(Optional, Windows-only) Note: If you want to use the same build configuration as the build server, you will have to install VC++ 2017 version 15.7 v14.14 latest v141 tools
(or similar) from the "Individual components" section in the Visual Studio Setup. We use editbin.exe
to modify the stack size used by ILSpy.exe from 1MB to 16MB, because the decompiler makes heavy use of recursion, where small stack sizes lead to problems in very complex methods.
Unix:
- Check out the repository using git.
- Execute
git submodule update --init --recursive
to get all required submodules. - Edit
\ICSharpCode.Decompiler\ICSharpCode.Decompiler.csproj
AddSdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk"
to theProject
element. This is required due to a tooling issue on Unix. Please do not commit this when contributing a pull request! - Use Frontends.sln to work.
- Report bugs
- If you want to contribute a pull request, please add https://gist.github.com/siegfriedpammer/75700ea61609eb22714d21885e4eb084 to your
.git/hooks
to prevent checking in code with wrong indentation. We use tabs and not spaces. The build server runs the same script, so any pull requests using wrong indentation will fail.
