Writing Plug-ins for the Simulation Tool – Part 3 – Setup – Command Line

Command Line

for the command line compilation 1st ensure that you have mono installed (http://mono-project.com/Downloads) (or on windows .NET 3.5 has to be installed). Next download the project we created above:

https://sourceforge.net/downloads/sbwsimtool/mono-sample-project/v1/

once extracted you can compile those files from the command line using:

gmcs *.cs -r:3rdParty/Microsoft.ComponentModel.Composition.Diagnostics.dll -r:3rdParty/SimulationToolAPI.dll -r:3rdParty/System.ComponentModel.Composition.dll  -r:3rdParty/ZedGraph.dll  -r:System.Windows.Forms -r:System.Drawing -target:library -platform:x86 -out:SimulationToolPlugin1.dll

on mono or:

\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\csc.exe  -r:3rdParty/Microsoft.ComponentModel.Composition.Diagnostics.dll -r:3rdParty/SimulationToolAPI.dll -r:3rdParty/System.ComponentModel.Composition.dll  -r:3rdParty/ZedGraph.dll  -target:library -platform:x86 -out:SimulationToolPlugin1.dll *.cs

using microsofts compiler.

next you copy the resulting SimulationToolPlugin1.dll into the SBW directory:

~/SBW/lib on linux

/Applications/SBW/lib on OS X

c:\program files\KGI\SBW\roadrunner on win32 and

C:\Program Files (x86)\KGI\SBW\roadrunner on win64.

Now if you start the simulation tool you again should see the newly build plug-in in an unnamed category.
