    How do I build Umbraco?

    Hi,

    I have downloaded the latest source code from codeplex and am trying to figure out what I need to build and how.

    Please note that I have done a one time download rather than through mercurial.

    So I was wondering how I can build umbraco so that I can debug my umbraco installation?

    I tried to build the CMS.Development.sln for example but there are two missing files in the Umbraco.CMS.Web .csproj, which are Mvc\Areas\AreaRegistrationExtensions.cs and Mvc\Areas\ComponentAreaRegistration.cs.

    But anyway even if I succeed to build anyhting I am totally not sure if it would be the correct thing and how I can go from there. Is there somewhere documentation or instrucitons on what to do? Finding any turns out not be straightforward.

    Please advise!

    Thanks

    Hi Milen,

    I think you are trying to compile version 5 of Umbraco which is work in progress. You need the 4.7 release. According to codeplex it's this release

    http://umbraco.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/6f33e2b81175

    Hope this helps you,

    Richard

    Hi Richard,

    Thanks a lot for this. This is indeed the version and I managed to get it running and to debug it.

    It did not take a lot to figure out the xslt transformation for the web.config that is taking place in the AfterBuild target (for exmpale), but I was wondering why there is no documentation on such things like building, debugging, deploying, etc. Or is it just that I am not able to find it? I can appreciate the Umbraco Tv as a way to monetize things and I will definitely support it once I get up to speed with the basics, but isn't some documentation going to be advantageous to the development of the whole project?

    I am trying to figure out the big picture and get a better understanding of how things work in the umbraco community, so hopefully these questions do not sound irrelevant.

    Milen
