Setting Compiler Options

Hello, I'm new to Unity, so maybe you guys could help me get some issues off of the ground. This is all C#.

In order to use an existing library I have, I believe I need to modify compiler settings to accomplish two goals:

-Enabling use of unsafe. At the points where my code uses 'unsafe,' I get the error "Unsafe code requires the 'unsafe' command line option to be specified."

-Enabling use of System.Linq. Is there a way to do this, or is this not supported? "The type or namespace name 'Linq' does not exist in the namespace 'System'.

I have tried modifying compile_any.pl, based on what I read elsewhere in the forums. In particular, in the region
# Run the csharp compiler

I added '-unsafe' and '-langversion:linq' to @base_args.

This did nothing. I later got rid of the file compile_any.pl altogether (or rather, renamed it to compile_any2.pl) and it still doesnt make a difference, it compiles just as it used to.

I have indeed modified and re-saved the files to make sure they are compiling, and it appears that they are. So maybe I'm modifying the wrong file?

The one I have was found in, with my directory structure:
C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Data\MonoCompiler.framework\compile_any.pl

If it matters, Unity 2.6.1f3, Pro.

Thanks!

 

Hello, I too am very interested in this but this is likely to be delayed until Unity upgrades to a newer version of the Mono libs.

There is a workaround though, check this: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/746/the-type-or-namespace-var-could-not-be-found-in-c/1315#1315 .

 

This line:

when targeting MS compiler, csc is used with csc.rsp, etc.

at

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/PlatformDependentCompilation.html

may be important to notice... I had to add that file too, so code could be exported to Visual Studio.

 

six and a half year too late to the party, but I'm sure two posters that last visited the forum in 2011 appreciates the help.

 

Better late then never.
