Building IKVM Source

Building IKVM Source

Setup

1. Download IKVM source code from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=69637
2. Download classpath-0.95 from (http://www.frijters.net/classpath-0.95-stripped.zip)
3. Download openjdk6-b12 from (http://www.frijters.net/openjdk6-b12-stripped.zip)

Unzip openjdk6-b12 and classpath-0.95 into the unzipped IKVM Source. For example

ikvm-0.38.0.2
--- classpath-0.95
--- openjdk6-b12

Tool required (Other version of these tools might work) :-

1. Nant (i used 0.86 Beta1)

2. JDK 1.6 Update 13 (or lower)

3. VS 2008 or 2005

4. .Net Framework in particular (cl - vc compiler, ilasm)


To Compile
----------------------------------
1. Run nant to compile the required assembly

2. Use VS2008 to build IKVM source (CTRL + Shift + B)

That's it.

The specified initialization vector (IV) does not match the block size for this algorithm

If you're getting  exception when trying to assigned key to a symmetric key and getting error message below :- The specified initialization vector (IV) does not match the block size for this algorithm And your code probably look like something below :- Then you need to go into debug mode and start looking into the supported size for IV as shown in diagram below :- As you can see, IV is 16 bytes, so you need to provide 16 bytes. The same goes for Key field too, if you're adding anything to it. As long as you provide a valid key size, then we're good and you're code will be ready.
