How to build FarNet

Prerequisites

• Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 with C++/CLI tools installed.
• Far Manager in C:\Bin\Far\x64 or C:\Bin\Far\Win32.
• Invoke-Build for build automation.

Clone the FarNet repository and change to its directory.

Generate meta files once before building or opening in Visual Studio:

Invoke-Build meta

Build from the command line:

Invoke-Build build

Or open FarNet.sln in Visual Studio and

• Set PowerShellFar or FarNetMan as the startup project.
• Choose the configuration Debug or Release.
• Choose the platform x64 or Win32.

Build and run.

The result plugin, FarNet assemblies, and other files are automatically copied to C:\Bin\Far\x64 or C:\Bin\Far\Win32 depending on the platform.
