Build instructions
First grab the code using git:
git clone https://github.com/0xd4d/dnSpy.git
cd dnSpy
git submodule update --init --recursive
Use Visual Studio 2010 or later or run debugbuild.bat / releasebuild.bat to build it once you have all dependencies. You probably don't need Visual Studio installed to run the *.bat files. The C# compiler is usually installed if you have the .NET Framework installed. Otherwise, download and install Microsoft Build Tools.
Dependencies
The git command above should've downloaded the correct versions. If you can't use git, grab the code from these links. dnlib must have THREAD_SAFE defined when you compile it.
