## Building from Source Code
|
|
|
|
### Development Environment
|
|
|
|
If you want to build the module from source code yourself, you need to install these programs first:
|
|
- [Microsoft Visual Studio Community](https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-community-vs.aspx) 2015 or 2017 with these features installed:
|
|
* Common Tools for Visual C++
|
|
* Windows SDK (you have to retarget the [DSInternals.Replication.Interop](../Src/DSInternals.Replication.Interop/DSInternals.Replication.Interop.vcxproj) project to the version you have)
|
|
* PowerShell Tools for Visual Studio (optional)
|
|
* Git for Windows (optional)
|
|
* GitHub Extension for Visual Studio (optional)
|
|
- [Windows Management Framework 5](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50395).
|
|
|
|
### Build Steps
|
|
1. Install the prerequisities.
|
|
2. Checkout or download the source codes.
|
|
3. Run the [Scripts\Make.ps1](../Scripts/Make.ps1) script from PowerShell.
|
|
4. The resulting module will appear in the *Build\bin\Release* folder.
|
|
|
|
### Debugging
|
|
|
|
1. Open the [Src\DSInternals.sln](../Src/DSInternals.sln) file in Visual Studio.
|
|
2. Put any cmdlets you wish to debug into the [Src\DSInternals.PowerShell\Run-Cmdlets.ps1](../Src/DSInternals.PowerShell/Run-Cmdlets.ps1) script.
|
|
3. Set the [DSInternals.PowerShell](../Src/DSInternals.PowerShell/DSInternals.PowerShell.csproj) project as StartUp Project.
|
|
4. Switch to the _Debug_ configuration.
|
|
5. Start debugging (F5).
|
|
|
|
