To build on Windows: ==================== Since cmake doesn't know anything about C#, there's an unfortunate manual step involved in this. - Make sure that the cmake configuration variable RDK_BUILD_SWIG_CSHARP_WRAPPER is set to ON. - Run cmake to generate the solution file and open it in Visual Studio. - Select the option to add an existing project and add $RDBASE/Code/JavaWrappers/csharp_wrapper/RDKit2DotNet.csproj - Right click on the added project (named RDKit2DotNet) and add a dependency to RDKFuncs (this is the project that creates the C++ dll that the C# project needs) - Build the RDKit2DotNet project. Your bin directory ($RDBASE/Code/JavaWrappers/csharp_wrapper/bin/Release if you did a release build) now contains two DLLs: - RDKFuncs.dll is the C++ dll containing the RDKit functionality - RDKit2DotNet.dll contains the C# wrapper. To use the wrappers in your own projects, you should copy both dlls into your project directory and add a reference to RDKit2DotNet.dll The directory RDKitCSharpTest contains a sample test project and some code that makes very basic use of the wrapper functionality. To build on a linux system with mono installed: ============================================== - Make sure that the cmake configuration variable RDK_BUILD_SWIG_CSHARP_WRAPPER is set to ON. - Run cmake and then do "make install" This will create, in this directory, two files: - libRDKFuncs.{so,dynlib} (name depends on OS): the C++ dll containing the RDKit functionality - RDKit2DotNet.dll contains the C# wrapper. Build and run the test code: ------------------------------- gmcs -out:test.exe -addmodule:./RDKit2DotNet.dll test.cs mono test.exe
