Prerequisite: CMake, .NET 4.6, GCC 5.0+ or Microsoft Visual C++ 2015

1. Build Project

• cd Il2Native
• MSBuild CoreLib.csproj /p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform="Any CPU"

2. Build CoreLib (aka mscorlib)

• cd CoreLib
• MSBuild CoreLib.csproj /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform="AnyCPU"

3. Create a temporary folder to build projects/files

• cd ....
• mkdir playground
• cd playground

4. Generating CoreLib C++ project

• ..\Il2Native\Il2Native\bin\Debug\Cs2Cpp.exe ..\Il2Native\CoreLib\CoreLib.csproj

5. Compile it

• cd CoreLib
• build_prerequisite_vs2015_debug.bat
• build_vs2015_debug.bat

Now you have compiled CoreLib (mscorelib)

6. Compile HelloWorld.cs

• cd ..
• create file HelloWorld.cs

using System;

class X {
	public static int Main (string [] args)
	{
		Console.WriteLine ("Hello, World!");
		return 0;
	}
}

• ..\Il2Native\Il2Native\bin\Debug\Cs2Cpp.exe HelloWorld.cs /corelib:..\Il2Native\CoreLib\bin\Release\CoreLib.dll
• cd HelloWorld
• build_vs2015_release.bat

Now you have HelloWorld.exe
