David,

Are you having a specific problem? Can you provide us some detail as what you are looking for that is missing or now working?

Is there any specific version of Visual Studios that is needed?

The current build targets VS 2010. Drive Proxy will not build and install by itself, however, as it doesn't provide any functionality out of the box. Google Drive Shell Extension currently uses Google Drive Proxy to handle authentication and communication with Google Drive, and is available here: https://github.com/google/google-drive-shell-extension

With regards to the shell extension.  I have downloaded all of the following -

On the following steps receive the following in CMD
  1. Enter the repository's directory.

    cd google-drive-shell-extension

  2. Update the project's submodules.

    git submodule update --init --recursive

You appear to not have installed the source control management software git. Submodules are a git feature for linking different repositories together. We don't support trying to build without git. The recommended workflow is to install git, clone the google-drive-shell-extension repository, and update the submodules which pull the appropriate drive-proxy revision to the correct subdirectory.

According to your last post, you copied the zipped archive. You have to clone the repository to get the required metadata and be able to perform git operations. There are tutorials for doing so in github, or googling for "git tutorial".

Juan,

I realised what I had done wrong about an hour ago.  My own stupidity.  The only thing I am stuck with finding is, point 14 in the Drive-Proxy instructions - Switch to the root of the git repository

Any ideas where this would have installed to?

Juan,

After finally getting the clone to work and then compiling the driveproxy.sln I am getting the following errors -

Inline images 1

I then went to look at the file that the syntax error was complaining about and some code appears to be missing.


code snippet
------------------------------------------------------

using System.Reflection;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using DriveProxy.API;

// General Information about an assembly is controlled through the following
// set of attributes. Change these attribute values to modify the information
// associated with an assembly.
[assembly: AssemblyConfiguration("")]
[assembly: AssemblyTrademark("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCulture("")]

// Setting ComVisible to false makes the types in this assembly not visible
// to COM components.  If you need to access a type in this assembly from
// COM, set the ComVisible attribute to true on that type.
[assembly: ComVisible(false)]

// The following GUID is for the ID of the typelib if this project is exposed to COM
[assembly: Guid("8ad94620-7da3-42e6-8652-0f5a34846375")]

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.1.1")]
[assembly: AssemblyInformationalVersion("1.0.1.1")]
[assembly: AssemblyTitle("DriveProxy")]
[assembly: AssemblyDescription("A proxy service that is used to access Google Drive.")]
[assembly: AssemblyCo    //CODE ENDS HERE

Do you have a complete copy of the following file - google-drive-shell-extension\google-drive-proxy\GlobalAssemblyBuilder\Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs ?

Thanks

It appears to be an issue with an auto-generated file. Try rebuilding the project. Also make sure you followed points 15 to 19 correctly and your ProjectConfig.txt file has one value per line.

Juan,

Thanks for all your help so far.  I have noticed that when I - Right click DriveProxy.sln run with Visual Studio 2010 I get the following errors:

Inline images 2

Inline images 1

Could this be something to do with the extensions - Wix, Nuget, etc not having been installed correctly?

I am using Visual Studio 2010 professional.

I am wondering is this then causing the issues with the auto generating file.

I've managed to sort out the .wixproj issue by installing an earlier version of the wixtoolset, so I am only confronted by the .shbfproj issue now.  Any ideas how to over come this? Is it the NSIS install that deals with this type of file do you know?
nevermind, found it.

Compiling the Drive Proxy project isn't strictly necessary. After configuring the ProjectConfig.txt file you should continue with the google-drive-shell-extension instructions: 
Edit Release.bat and make sure the paths to MSBuild.exe and makensis.exe are correct for your machine.
Execute Release.bat.
If there's any configuration or setup missing, you should be able to tell from the error messages it generates.

nevermind, found it.

OK, I checked the path to MSBuild and makensis both were fine.

I ran the Release.bat however no Drivefusion.exe was created.  

Inside the bin folder is have -
- Release > x64 > DriveFusion > DriveFusion (Exports Library File) and DriveFusion (Object File Library)

This is the same in the x86 folder

Would you able to jump onto a remote session to just make sure I have done all correctly?

If not, no problem.

I'm afraid I can't. The documentation errors shouldn't matter. The Link error is strange. You could try to open the DriveFusion solution (.sln) file and compile the contained projects individually. That might help identify what is failing.

No problem.  When I try to open the DriveFusion.sln, it looks like that solution file was created using a newer version of VS.

Off to get a new version I go.
