$ bazel build examples/example_binary:hello

Log

7-10-17:

• Currently just downloads and restores the dependencies in .csproj file. lock files updated to home directory outside of bazel, need to address that:

7-14-17:

• downloads coreclr, restores packages to ~examples/example_binary
• todo: figure out how to emit/track the restore outputs...

7-16-17:

• Got build+restore+publish setup with dotnet and msbuild (see appendix)
• add config to restore .sln and .csproj files (TODO: figure out how to actually restore .sln files)
• build dll now restores and installs dependencies. However, the output .dll isn't detected..

7-19-17:

• Removed unecessary donet cli initializatoin
• Added /p:OutputDire=bin to msbuild
• Still unable to map generated file

to the declared output....

7-19-17-2:

Added prefix to output directory (atleast now it builds and finds the output)

7-23-17:

• Binary created at bazel-bin/examples/example_binary/publish/example_binary

$ bazel build examples/example_binary:publish/example_binary

• msbuild Publish always created a ~/publish folder so had to play games with directories

• TODO:

  • Figure out how to copy all the files created in the following folder over as runfiless

    execroot/io_bazel_rules_dotnet/bazel-out/local-fastbuild/bin/examples/example_binary/publish/
    

  • Fix BUILD name
