How to build a Vostok library.

This page describes the prerequisites and procedure for building Vostok libraries.

Prerequisites

• Download and install .NET Core SDK 2.1+ and .NET Framework 4.7.1+ dev pack from here.
• Download and install Cement — a source-based dependency manager.
• Select a local directory for Vostok libraries and run a cm init command there once to make it Cement-tracked.

Fetch Cement module (once)

• Find out Cement module name for the library in question. All Vostok modules are listed in this file. Their names generally coincide with full repository names.
• Execute a cm get {module} command from Cement-tracked directory. It will fetch the module itself and all of its dependencies.

Update and build dependencies

• Move to module directory: cd {module}
• Update deps: cm update-deps
• Build deps: cm build-deps

Build the module itself

• cm build
