To execute a build inside of Microsoft .Net 2003, you must first install the .Net plug-in. View the Setup and Installation section of this guide for configuring your .Net plug-in.
Table BD-8 will walk you through the steps for building using the Microsoft .Net 2003 plug-in, omNet.

You need to generate your Target prior to running your build. To generate your Target, perform the following:
From the .NET menu bar, select Tools - omNet: TGT Generation. This will invoke the omNet program to create the Target file (.tgt). |
|
2 |
From the .NET menu bar, select Tools - omNet: Build. This will invoke the omNet program to execute the build. |
When building inside of Microsoft .NET 2003, the .NET plug-in executes a program called omNET to call both bldmake and om. The omNET is context sensitive based on what is currently selected in the Solution Explorer. If omNET is executed when the Solution is selected, a full Solution level build will occur. However, if an individual Project is selected, omNET will execute a build for the selected Project and any local Projects it depends upon.
The Build output is saved as om.log on the file system in your defined Build Directory. The build log includes information from om and the devenv compiler about the build process.
