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.
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.
How do I build Umbraco?
Hi,

Please advise!

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
