Prerequisite: CMake, .NET 4.6, GCC 5.0+ or Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Community Edition

1. Build Project

cd Il2Native
MSBuild Il2Native.sln /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform="Any CPU"

or open Il2Native.sln in Visual Studio 2017 and compile it

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 /release ..\Il2Native\CoreLib\CoreLib.csproj

5. Compile it

cd CoreLib
build_prerequisite_vs2015_release.bat 
build_vs2015_release.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 /release HelloWorld.cs /corelib:..\Il2Native\CoreLib\bin\Release\CoreLib.dll
cd HelloWorld
build_vs2015_release.bat

Now you have HelloWorld.exe
