How do I build the source code for controls from Windows Phone toolkit to use with my Windows Phone 8.1 app?

Question

The source code for different toolkit controls are available from: http://phone.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest

How do I build the same to use it with my Windows Phone 8.1 app (runtime) ?

Why don't you use the precompiled packages or even the Nuget Package? — Daniel Steiner, May 14 '14 at 07:06
The Nuget packages support only Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight projects and not Windows Phone 8.1 RT. — Harsha Bhat, May 15 '14 at 05:17
Ah yes thats true, I forgott about the API change. I guess you'd have to wait then. — Daniel Steiner, May 15 '14 at 12:12

Windows Phone Toolkit for WP8.0 and WP7.0 was build for Silverlight and it has slightly different Controls/Namespaces (more) comparing to Window Runtime.

So in case you want to rebuild Controls for windows runtime, it won't be so simple - you will have to do it manually for the whole code.

For more information about developing for Silverlight and Runtime take a loook here at MSDN.

You could go for other controls like Telerik or Syncfusion while you wait for WP Toolkit for 8.1 OS. Telerik has really cool controls.
