Question

I would like to activate continuous integration for a Prism application on a TFS build server. Actually the build controller is not able to compile the application because it does not have the Prism Library. Prism is registered in my Visual Studio on my developing machine and the project simply reference it. I was wondering if I should checkin the library within the project or should I install the library on the build server.

So what practice do you use to integrate application using dependencies on a build server?

Answer 1

I finally opted for a solution based on pantelif idea.

Instead of manually checking in and managing depedencies manually, I used NuGet to reference packages. Firstly it is perfectly suitable for source control as it checks-out any file required to build the project. Secondly it supports easy updates of the libraries.

Thanks for your help.
