How do I get ServiceStack binaries for use with the FOSS exception?

Question

I am trying to build ServiceStack binaries for use with an open source project. First, I tried following the recommendations in this SO answer, by using the DLLs in the lib folder of the ServiceStack repo. However, amongst others, ServiceStack.Logging and some of the OrmLite DLLs are missing there.

I then tried building the missing DLLs from the source code, but the OrmLite projects refer to a signed ServiceStack.Interfaces DLL in the lib folder, while for instance ServiceStack.Logging.NLog has a project reference to the ServiceStack.Interfaces project, which then results in an unsigned ServiceStack.Interfaces DLL.

As a result, my project that uses both OrmLite and ServiceStack.Logging.NLog doesn't build.

There must be an easier way of doing this.

You have the source code, change the projects to reference the .dll instead of the project. — mythz, Jan 28 '16 at 10:43
Yes, I ended up doing just that, using good old `sed`. I just wondered if I was missing something, because it felt too complicated. Out of curiosity, why do some of the projects use project references, while others refer to the `lib` folder? — dabide, Jan 28 '16 at 22:16

Here is a batch file to build the DLLs:

@echo off

setlocal
set SSVERSION=v4.0.54
set LIB=%~dp0lib
set SSDIR=%LIB%\src\ServiceStack
set ORMLITEDIR=%LIB%\src\ServiceStack.OrmLite
set MSBUILD=C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe
path %PATH%;%dp0bin

if not exist "%SSDIR%\" (
    echo Cloning ServiceStack repo

    git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack "%SSDIR%"
    if errorlevel 1 goto error
)

if not exist "%ORMLITEDIR%\" (
    echo Cloning ServiceStack.OrmLite repo

    git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack.OrmLite "%ORMLITEDIR%"
    if errorlevel 1 goto error
)


echo Cleaning up

git clean -df
if errorlevel 1 goto error
git checkout -- .
if errorlevel 1 goto error
git fetch

:end
echo Finished succesfully
exit /b 0

:error
echo An error occurred. The last command exited with the exit code %ERRORLEVEL%
exit /b 1

To build NuGet packages for use with .NET Core, you can use the following Bash script:

#!/bin/bash
errorhandler() {
    # Modified verion of http://stackoverflow.com/a/4384381/352573
    errorcode=$?
    echo "Error $errorcode"
    echo "The command executing at the time of the error was"
    echo "$BASH_COMMAND"
    echo "on line ${BASH_LINENO[0]}"
    exit $errorcode
}

pack() {
    echo "Building $2"
    pushd "$1/src/$2"
    ${DOTNET} restore
    ${DOTNET} pack -o "${LIB}/packages" -c Release
    popd
}

DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
SSVERSION=111.0.37
LIB=${DIR}/lib
SSDIR=${LIB}/src/ServiceStack
SSAWSDIR=${LIB}/src/ServiceStack.Aws
SSTEXTDIR=${LIB}/src/ServiceStack.Text
SSREDISDIR=${LIB}/src/ServiceStack.Redis
ORMLITEDIR=${LIB}/src/ServiceStack.OrmLite

if [ "${OS}" == 'Windows_NT' ]; then
    DOTNET="${DIR}/bin/dotnet-lts/dotnet.exe"
    if [ ! -f ${DOTNET} ]; then
        echo -n "Downloading .NET Core 1.0.3 (LTS) ..."
        mkdir -p "${DIR}/bin/dotnet-lts"
        curl -o dotnet.zip -sSL https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=836296
        unzip -q -o dotnet.zip -d "${DIR}/bin/dotnet-lts"
        rm dotnet.zip
        echo " done"
    fi
else
    DOTNET="${DIR}/bin/dotnet-lts/dotnet"
    if [ ! -f ${DOTNET} ]; then
        echo "You need to download the .NET Core 1.0.3 (LTS) .tar.gz for your platform and unpack it into ${DIR}/bin/dotnet-lts"
        exit 1
    fi
fi

# From now on, catch errors
trap errorhandler ERR

echo "Cleaning up"
rm -rf "${LIB}/packages"

for d in ServiceStack ServiceStack.Aws ServiceStack.OrmLite ServiceStack.Redis ServiceStack.Text
do
    if [ ! -d "${LIB}/src/${d}" ]; then
        echo "Cloning ${d} repo"
        git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ServiceStack/${d} "${LIB}/src/${d}"
    fi

    pushd "${LIB}/src/${d}"
    git clean -df
    git checkout -- .
    git fetch
    git checkout master
    popd
done

echo "Setting version numbers to a ridiculously high value"
find "${LIB}/src" -name project.json -exec sed -i -e "s/\(^[ \t]*\"version\": \"\)1.0.0\"/\1${SSVERSION}\"/" -e "s/\(\"ServiceStack\.[^\"]*\": \"\)1.0.*\(\"\)/\1${SSVERSION}\2/" \{\} \;

for d in ServiceStack.Text
do
    pack ${SSTEXTDIR} ${d}
done

for d in ServiceStack.Aws
do
    pack ${SSAWSDIR} ${d}
done

for d in ServiceStack.OrmLite ServiceStack.OrmLite.Sqlite ServiceStack.OrmLite.SqlServer
do 
    pack ${ORMLITEDIR} ${d}
done

for d in ServiceStack.Redis
do
    pack ${SSREDISDIR} ${d}
done

for d in ServiceStack ServiceStack.Api.Swagger ServiceStack.Client ServiceStack.Common ServiceStack.Core.SelfHost ServiceStack.Core.WebApp ServiceStack.HttpClient ServiceStack.Interfaces ServiceStack.Kestrel ServiceStack.MsgPack ServiceStack.Mvc ServiceStack.ProtoBuf ServiceStack.RabbitMq ServiceStack.Server ServiceStack.Wire
do
    pack ${SSDIR} ${d}
done

echo "Finished succesfully"

You can then add a NuGet.config file in your solution folder to make them available:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<packageSources>
    <clear />
    <add key="NuGet" value="https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" />
    <add key="Local package library" value="../lib/packages" />
</packageSources>
</configuration>
