UniversalIDE code repository

Welcome to the UniversalIDE's git repository.

UniversalIDE is an open source (GNU GPL v3) development environment studied to be compatible with any programming language thanks to its add-on based structure. Anyone who knows the .NET Framework can develop add-ons to support a programming language, defining syntax highlighting rules and interfacing the IDE with compilers or interpreters. It is written in Visual Basic .NET.

Any contribution is welcome, both to the main source code (this repository) and to the add-ons (http://universalide.sf.net/repository/addons).

How to clone & build

To clone the repository to your computer, use:

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/universalide/code universalide-code

To build:

• From Visual Studio: Just open UniversalIDE.sln and press F5. (Note: tested with VS Express 2012 for Windows Desktop. Compatibility with other versions isn't assured.)
• From command line: you need msbuild and NuGet commands avaiable; MsBuild is in the :NET framework directory, usually C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\YOUR_.NET_VERSION, and NuGet.exe can be downloaded here. Then, just do:

nuget restore

msbuild

If you don't pass arguments to MsBuild, it will build in Debug mode. If you want Release mode, use:

nuget restore

msbuild /p:Configuration=Release
