Using PCL Contrib in VS 2012

I need to create a portable class library that does some cryptography. For that I want to use PCL Contrib. I am using VS 2012 Pro, project web site suggests that PCL Contrib is bundled with VS 2012, but I can't find it anywhere. "Portable" section in "Add reference" dialog is empty. Searching for file with mask *Portable.Runtime* yields nothing on my PC. How do I reference it? Or where do I get library files?

Update: as millimoose suggested in comments PCL Contrib is not really bundled with VS.

Solution

  • Downloading source and building produced all required libraries (one might want to install Windows Phone 8 SDK to build corresponding PCL Contrib library if needed).
