Compiling de4dot

Best way to get the source code

git clone git://github.com/0xd4d/de4dot.git
cd de4dot
sed -i 's!git@github\.com:0xd4d/cecil\.git!git://github.com/0xd4d/cecil.git!' .gitmodules
git submodule init
git submodule update

Downloading tarballs

Download de4dot source code and my Mono.Cecil fork. Extract cecil code to a cecil sub dir inside the de4dot source dir.

Creating the strong name key file

In the de4dot root dir:

sn -k de4dot.snk

You'll also need to update the public key in a few InternalsVisibleTo attributes, eg. in de4dot.cui/Properties/AssemblyInfo.cs. Here's how to get your public key from the de4dot.snk strong name key file you created earlier:

sn -p de4dot.snk de4dot.pub
sn -tp de4dot.pub

The longest key it shows (on multiple lines) is your public key.

Compile

Use VS2008 or VS2010. If you use VS2008, you must update the VS version number at the top of the .sln file from 11.00 to 10.00. To debug it with VS2008, remove <supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/> from all App.config files.
