Building, Testing, and Debugging

Required Software

The Writer source code targets the latest public build of Visual Studio 2015 on Windows. In order to edit, build and test the source code install Visual Studio 2015.

• Download Visual Studio Community 2015 (Free)

Note: While VS 2015 is highly recommended, Jorgen Thelin detailed a mechanism for getting the build working under Visual Studio 2013 in issue #45 here.

Running the Code

• Clone the sources: git clone https://github.com/OpenLiveWriter/OpenLiveWriter.git

At this point, you can build and run inside Visual Studio 2015. A solution file is located at .\src\managed\writer.sln.

Alternatively, you can build at the command prompt:

• Run .\build to compile. The binaries are dropped in .\src\managed\bin\Debug\i386\Writer\
• Run .\run to launch Writer.

Connecting to Blogger from your local build

If you're running from a local build, you will need to provide some additional information in order to connect your Blogger blogs.
