How To Build EVEMon Yourself
Before you start reading through; check that you have completed all the required pre-requisites, otherwise it's not going to make a heap of sense.
- Install Microsoft Visual C# Express 2008 with Service Pack 1
- Install TortoiseSVN (restart required)
- Checked out a copy of the HEAD revision from svn://evemon.battleclinic.com/EVEMon/EVEMon/trunk with TortoiseSVN. Instructions can be found on the EvemonRepository page
Right, so you've done all that, and now you want to build the source code into a full functional copy of EVEMon.
- Open Visual C# 2008 Express
- Open the C# project (EVEMonCSharp.sln) in VC#, and click Build -> Rebuild Solution to build the source
- Then just hit F5 to run the project (alternatively, Debug -> Start Debugging)
- If the main EVEMon window pops up and asks you to add a new character without any errors popping up, everything should be working just fine
- The newly built copy of EVEMon can be found by default in: PathToEveMonRepositoryFolder\bin\x86\Debug
You may need to tell your firewall that it's ok for EVEMon to connect to the net and file system etc, otherwise it's going to have issues saving settings and grabbing your character details and various other issues. Once that's out the way EVEMon should be running happily on your system, congratulations.
