building the Full DLR
Before you can use DLR, you must build it. The previous section explains how to download a copy of 
the DLR source. The following sections describe three methods you can use to build DLR. For most 
developers, the easiest and fastest method is the command line build. However, if you want to review 
the code before you use it, you might want to load the solution in Visual Studio and take a peek.
Performing a Command Line Build
The command line build option requires that you use the Visual Studio command line, not a standard 
command line (which doesn’t contain a path to the utilities you need). The following steps describe 
how to perform the command line build:
