Nuget/MsBuild

A simple cmd file to build a project (or solution) into a nuget structure. MsBuild is used to build the project in release configuration and put it directly into the package lib/netX folder.

echo off
Set VersionDefault=1.0.0.0
echo.
echo ** Nuget Pack using version = %VersionDefault% ** 
set /p Version=Version number [%VersionDefault%] 
if "%Version%" == "" set Version=%VersionDefault%
echo ver=[%Version%]

:: nuget pack
nuget Update -self

%systemroot%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe ..\MyPackage\MyPackage.csproj /p:Configuration=Release /p:OutputPath=..\Nuget\MyPackage\lib\net20

nuget pack MyPackage\MyPackage.nuspec -Version %Version%

pause
:end

Folder structure:

• Nuget
  • Nuget.exe

  • *.nupkg files
  • MyPackage
    • MyPackage.nuspec
    • Readme.txt
    • content
      • Web.config.transform
    • lib
      • net20
        • *.dll here

Build with devenv

Deployment projects need VS2010. Create a x.VS2010.sln with those vdproj projects, and use a script like this (so you never need to actually launch VS2010).

@echo "Building with VS2010"

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.com" "C:\Dev\z\z.2010.sln" /rebuild Release /project "z.Setup\z.Setup.vdproj" /projectconfig Release

@echo "Copying the MSIs to somewhere useful"
copy "C:\Dev\z\z.Setup\Release\z.Setup.msi" "C:\Dev\latest_Releases\z.Setup.msi"

@pause

Build a solution

Create a nuspec for the project(s) in the solution- as nuget pack calls the csproj, tokens like $Version$ are automatically filled from the dll

nuget.exe update -self
nuget.exe restore MySolution.sln
%systemroot%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe MySolution.sln /t:Build /p:Configuration=Release
nuget.exe pack Lib\Lib.csproj -OutputDirectory Packages -Prop Configuration=Release
