How to build and run CivOne?

CivOne is being developed for .NET 4.0/Mono and it is intended to run on Windows, MacOS X and Linux. To build/run CivOne, you need the following:

• Visual Studio Code: https://code.visualstudio.com/
• .NET Framework 4.0 (Windows only): https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851
• Mono (Linux, MacOS, optional on Windows): http://www.mono-project.com/

After you've downloaded and installed the proper tools you can download or clone CivOne. In Visual Studio Code, choose File > Open Folder... Choose the folder where you downloaded CivOne. Now follow the platform specific instructions.

Windows

• Debugging is not yet supported in Windows.
• I have not tested this project in Visual Studio, only in Visual Studio Code, but it will probably work in Visual Studio without any issues.
• You can change the compiler by editing the "args" setting in ~/.settings/tasks.json. You can choose msbuild (.NET) or xbuild (Mono).
• You should have a PATH reference to msbuild (for .NET) or xbuild (for Mono). Open Computer Properties > Advanced system settings > Enviromental variables.
  • msbuild: Add "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\Bin" (or similar, try to find MSBuild.exe in explorer) to the PATH variable
  • xbuild: Add "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mono\bin" (or similar, try to find xbuild.bat in explorer) to the PATH variable You need to restart Visual Studio Code for the PATH settings to work.
• To build, press Ctrl+Shift+B
• To run, press Ctrl+Shift+T
• Alternatively, you can run build.bat from the command-line:
  • To compile: build [msbuild|xbuild] build
  • To run: build [msbuild|xbuild] run

Linux

• Visual Studio Code is currently only available for 64-bit Linux on Intel processors.
• You need to change the file ~/.settings/tasks.json to this:

    {
        "version": "0.1.0",
        "command": "xbuild,
        "args": ["CivOne.csproj"]
    }

• To compile the project, press Ctrl+Shift+B.
• You can run and debug, the project by pressing F5, or by clicking the Debug icon in the toolbar (left) and pressing the Play button.

MacOS X

I do not own a Mac so I can not test this at the moment. If you've managed to get the project running on MacOS, please let me know how you did it so I can add instructions to the website.
