Odaxis Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Don't suppose anyone can give me the directions for compiling PKHeX in Visual Studio with the latest builds? Instead of compiling into a .exe, a .dll is now created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReignOfComputer Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Just download the latest compiled from: http://teamcity.skyeditor.org/viewLog.html?buildId=5674&buildTypeId=PKHeX_PKHeXBuildPr&tab=artifacts If you want to do it yourself, note that PKHeX's logic (PKHeX.Core) is now separate from the UI (PKHeX.WinForms). Compiling PKHeX.Core gives a .dll which is referenced by PKHeX.WinForms. Build PKHeX.WinForms to get the .exe (by default builds to \PKHeX\PKHeX.WinForms\bin\<Debug/Release>\PKHeX.exe). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply. Just so I know I'm doing this correct. I compile the .exe by building off of the WinForms branch. The .exe that is generated is 1.12MB in file size, which is 1/6 th the previous .exe file size and I'm required to keep that smaller exe in a folder with the other files "PKHeX.pdb, PKHeX.Core.dll, PKHeX.Core.pdb" in order to launch the app?

Bare-minimum, you need PKHeX.exe and PKHeX.Core.dll. The combined file size of the two files should be similar to the previous file size. The PDB files provide extra debug info for us if there's any unhandled exceptions (like line numbers and code files). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering, why was this path (multiple files instead of 1) chosen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes the core code more reusable. It's possible, but unusual, to directly reference PKHeX.exe from other .Net apps to make things like my (very outdated) Pokemon database, where PKHeX does most of the work. Using a code library increases the possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
