Required software

Microsoft .Net

  • Microsoft .Net 3.5 Redistributable and the SDK (we only use .Net 2.0 for OpenPetra, but SharpDevelop requires .Net 3.5)

SharpDevelop 3.x

TortoiseGit

This works fine on Windows, although it is still work in progress...

It requires "Git on Windows" http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/; be careful: use the official git installer from that site, eg. Git-1.6.3.2-preview20090608.exe, not the fullinstaller or other packages.

See also some Notes about Git

NAnt

  • unzip the files to eg. c:\program files\nant
  • create file c:\windows\nant.bat with content:
@echo off
"C:\Program Files\NAnt\bin\NAnt.exe" %* -t:net-2.0

Database systems

Optional

The following pieces of software are only required when you want to build releases of OpenPetra:

Get the source code

The source code is managed with Git.

Please understand that we will provide write permissions only to the core members of the development team, just to keep the project on one track. We very much need your contributions though, and we will aim to quickly deal with submitted patches and code via the forum. This still has to be worked out how this works best to submit code that way.

You can get the source code in several ways:

Configuration of Development Environment

The recommended way of installing OpenPetra.org for development is to somewhere map a network drive, using the DOS command subst

For example:

mkdir c:\development
subst u: c:\development
download the git repository into u:\openpetraorg (it contains the .git directory, and the OpenPetra.build: U:\openpetraorg\OpenPetra.build, etc)
URL of the git repository:
   anonymous access: git://openpetraorg.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/openpetraorg/openpetraorg
   developer access: ssh://USERNAME@openpetraorg.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/openpetraorg/openpetraorg
     make sure that you set your username and email address in your git client
  • you need to make a copy of the file OpenPetra.build-sample-windows.config and call it OpenPetra.build.config
copy OpenPetra.build-sample-windows.config OpenPetra.build.config

NAnt script

There is a central NAnt script that is able to generate a lot of code and is able to do all automated tasks in the OpenPetra project.

Please see OpenPetra NAnt script for details
