Permissions issue while building on Windows 10

[LunarCapita1]

Good morning,

I am having an issue when running the dotnet build command (It seems to be the only issue left I cannot figure out)

C:\Program Files\extended-binary-waterfall-dev\Unai.ExtendedBinaryWaterfall.Gui.EtoForms.Wpf>dotnet build
C:\Program Files\extended-binary-waterfall-dev\Unai.ExtendedBinaryWaterfall.Gui.EtoForms.Wpf\Unai.ExtendedBinaryWaterfall.Gui.EtoForms.Wpf.csproj : warning NU1701: Package 'Eto.Platform.Wpf 2.10.2' was restored using '.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1, .NETFramework,Version=v4.6.2, .NETFramework,Version=v4.7, .NETFramework,Version=v4.7.1, .NETFramework,Version=v4.7.2, .NETFramework,Version=v4.8, .NETFramework,Version=v4.8.1' instead of the project target framework 'net10.0'.

Restore failed with 1 error(s) and 2 warning(s) in 1.4s

The warnings don't seem to be hindering much, but I'm wicked confused to what this .tmp is as it doesn't show up at all in this address at any point, or why there are restrictions denying access to it to begin with?

It's definitely a permissions problem, specially since you stored the repository inside the Program Files folder and that might cause some issues. Program Files has special permissions so that only administrators and the OS can modify it.

Try cloning the repository somewhere else, inside a path where you know you have read/write permissions (e.g. C:\Users\<your_username>, or change the permissions of C:\Program Files\extended-binary-waterfall-dev and the files inside it to allow read/write operations. As a last resort, you could run the dotnet build command from an Administrator command line, but that last option is not recommended for security reasons.

Alright, I went with the first option and I believe I'm making progress but I'm stuck with a new error.

After I moved it under my user's directory, I got the NETSDK1136 error, it suggested to "include -windows in the TargetFramework property". I edited the 'Unai.ExtendedBinaryWaterfall.Gui.EtoForms.Wpf.cdproj' and added net10.0-windows as the TargetFramework. The error moved on to 'MainForm' not being found. I'm not sure what I am missing here...

[unai-d]

It's actually because it cannot find project file Unai.ExtendedBinaryWaterfall.Gui.EtoForms.csproj. Still, this shouldn't happen since I just compiled it without issues. 🤔

[LunarCapita1]

Hmm.. I assume for a Windows user the .Wpf version would be the only version that I am meant to use? Is there anything worth checking out on my end?

[unai-d]

You should be able to use the GTK version too. But I'm guessing you're going to get the same error as before if somehow the required project file doesn't exist or cannot be found because of… reasons :P

[LunarCapita1]

Yeah, it doesn't work either spitting different errors like "git" not being present in PATH. At this point I just blame Windows lol. I can always wait for a patch

[unai-d]

That's probably MinVer not being able to find Git.
MinVer uses it to compute the current version of EBW.
It shouldn't stop the program from building, though.

[LunarCapita1]

Hm, I think I'm out of luck!

[unai-d]

OK, you can temporarily remove the MinVer PackageReference from the Unai.ExtendedBinaryWaterfall.csproj file then.
You don't need that feature anyways :)
Cause at this point I'm out of ideas lol

[LunarCapita1]

Oh man, after removing MiniVer and attempting to build it, I ended up with 35 errors! I think I fried my Gtk copy lol. I'm going to attempt to run this program on my laptop (also Windows 10) and see if there's any difference. But, I won't get into that until later on.
