Develop on mono

Building on Mono

Some manual changes (see below) are required in order to build git-tfs on Mono.

Once you have made the changes, you can use xbuild to build and the mono-git-tfs shell script to run git-tfs.

$ xbuild
...
$ ./mono-git-tfs help
+ GIT_TFS_CLIENT=Fake
+ mono ./GitTfs/bin/Debug/git-tfs.exe --version
git-tfs version 0.12.1.0 (37b71b4d) (TFS client library (FAKE)) (32-bit)

Manual changes required to build on Mono.

Create a script called GetCurrentVersion and make it executable.

#!/bin/sh
git show --stat HEAD

Use unix's cp instead of xcopy to copy the VsFake plugin into the runtime directory.

Disable building of the normal TFS plugins, and other projects that depend on them.
