Building

Developer instructions for building the Windows version of the application.

Dependencies

OnnxRuntime.Managed

The following steps are only required for publishing the application.

Add the PackageReference for local package while removing official.

Install the .NET 6 SDK from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download (if not already done so).

Then from a cmd prompt:

• git clone https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime
• cd onnxruntime
• git remote add tommcdon https://github.com/tommcdon/onnxruntime
• git fetch --all
• git switch -t tommcdon/removeRefReturns
• cd csharp\src\Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime
• dotnet pack -c release /p:PackageVersion=5.0.0

Add the csharp\src\Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime\bin\Release to the feed.

Open nuget package manager and update the Microsoft.ML.OnnxRuntime.Managed package to the 5.0.0 version we just built.

XAML Designer Bug

Visual studio designer hangs and shows busy message after a few clicks.

On the dialog after Cancel is selected choose the 2nd option for stability.

Don't know the cause, this started happening(?) after I edited WinUI NavView template and added to App.xaml.

Note

Documenting the changes made for building in Release with .NET Native

• Modified version of OnnxRuntime.Managed package is used without ref struct return.

• In Drizzle.UI.UWP/Properties/Default.rd.xml the following changes made for Trimming related issue.

<Assembly Dynamic="Required All" Name="Microsoft.Extensions.Options"/>
<Assembly Dynamic="Required All" Name="Microsoft.Extensions.Logging"/>
<Assembly Dynamic="Required All" Name="Microsoft.Extensions.Http"/>

• (Optional) To reduce CPU usage during build in Drizzle.UI.UWP/Drizzle.UI.UWP.csproj

<IlcParameters>/ExtraNutcArguments:"/d2threadsN"</IlcParameters>

with N being whatever many cores you want to use (eg. d2threads4 uses 4 cores)
