how to configur the build setting

[DongZhaoYu]

Hello Naiad Team!
I download the code and try to build the solution. But following errors occurs. Can you please give me some guidance how to configure the build setting? I follow the readme in the project but it doesn't work for me.

Hello,

Unfortunately, Microsoft closed the research lab responsible for Naiad. Most of the project members are now at Google, and may or may not be able to provide technical support. None of us are able to contribute the this repository, though.

Instead, I recommend checking out the repositories for our fork of this project which we are able to contribute to, or the Rust port of timely dataflow which may be independently interesting.

Hi,

Reading about TensorFlow found the reference to Naiad, and was very surprised to see this repository inactive. Nonetheless, I managed to make it run.

In Autoserialization.cs, add the following code:
Type typeChar = typeof(char);
Type ptrChar = typeChar.MakePointerType();

Then reference ptrChar as below:
stringStmts.Add(Assign(toDeserialize,
new CodeObjectCreateExpression(typeof(string), new CodeCastExpression(ptrChar, currentPosition), Expr("0"), Var(lengthVar))));

Thats it.
