FAKE - F# Make

"FAKE - F# Make" is a cross platform build automation system. Due to its integration in F#, all benefits of the .NET Framework and functional programming can be used, including the extensive class library, powerful debuggers and integrated development environments like Visual Studio or MonoDevelop, which provide syntax highlighting and code completion.

The new DSL was designed to be succinct, typed, declarative, extensible and easy to use.

See the project home page for tutorials and API documentation.

Build the project

• Quick: Download and install the Dotnet SDK and run dotnet build build.proj
• Fake5: Install FAKE 5 (for example via choco install fake -pre) and run fake build

Note: The build of the "legacy" parts (FAKE 4) will most likely fail

• when you are on linux and do not have mono installed
• when you are on windows and do not have Visual Studio installed

Either build only the netcore parts via fake build FullDotNetCore or install the requirements accoding to the contributing page

Make sure to have long path enabled: https://superuser.com/questions/1119883/windows-10-enable-ntfs-long-paths-policy-option-missing Otherwise the test-suite will fail (However, the compilation should work)
