[SOLVED] Building .NET project with xbuild on Linux environment

Building .NET project with xbuild on Linux environment

I have very simple project that created with Visual Studio 2013, using Nancy Asp.Net Web Application template.

In my development machine, it is building by Visual Studio 2013 successfully.

But when I try to build same sources on Linux Mono environment with xbuild, it is failing.

Here is the output:

root@jannes:/home/hitly/hitly/src/Hitly.Service# xbuild
XBuild Engine Version 12.0
Mono, Version 3.2.8.0

I couldn't understand reason of the error.

How can I build these sources on Linux?

Solution

Fixed!

I simply added PackagesConfig element to .nuget/NuGet.targets:

<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(OS)' != 'Windows_NT'">
    <!-- We need to launch nuget.exe with the mono command if we're not on windows -->
    <NuGetToolsPath>$(SolutionDir).nuget</NuGetToolsPath>
    ++++<PackagesConfig>packages.config</PackagesConfig>
</PropertyGroup>
