1. Visual Studio 2019 or Visual Studio 2017 + Visual Studio 2019 Build Tools
2. Sandcastle Help Builder
3. NSIS 3.05

We provide the following build scripts with CruiseControl.NET:

1. ps build.ps1 --target=default

It will display the existing targets in the cake build script.

2. ps build.ps1 --target=build

Use this if you want to build the project.

3. ps build.ps1 --target=build-all

Full build, including running tests, doing some code analysis and packaging artifacts. Cleanup -> Init -> Build -> Unit Tests -> code Analysis -> Packaging

4. ps build.ps1 --target=run-tests

This will call only the runUnitTests target in ccnet.build script. Cleanup -> Init -> Build -> Unit Tests

5. ps build.ps1 --target=package

This only build and package the CruiseControl.NET distribution. Cleanup -> Init -> Build -> Packaging

The packaged distribution can be found in the "Publish" folder.

6. ps build.ps1 --target=web-packages

This builds and packages the project WebDashboards.

7. ps build.ps1 --target=clean

This cleans the Build, Dist and Publish folders of previous artifacts.

If running powershell scripts are disabled on your machine, you can run powershell with ExecutionPolicy disabled for the CruiseControl.NET build file:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File ./build.ps1 -target=build

If you just cloned the CruiseControl.NET repository, run chmod u+x build.sh so you have execute permission on the build script.

1. ./build.sh --target=default

It will display the existing targets in the cake build script.

2. ./build.sh --target=build

Use this if you want to build the project.

3. ./build.sh --target=build-all

Full build, including running tests, doing some code analysis and packaging artifacts. Cleanup -> Init -> Build -> Unit Tests -> code Analysis -> Packaging

4. ./build.sh --target=run-tests

This will call only the runUnitTests target in ccnet.build script. Cleanup -> Init -> Build -> Unit Tests

7. ./build.sh --target=clean

This cleans the Build, Dist and Publish folders of previous artifacts.

**_Building CruiseControl.NET installers and documentation is currently unavailable on linux since it requires NSIS and Sandcastle Help Builder.
