[SOLVED] Is it possible to use the dotnet tracing libraries on macOS?

Is it possible to use the dotnet tracing libraries on macOS?

I've gone through the example event-tracing projects located at https://github.com/microsoft/eventtracing-processing-samples and successfully built the projects. I'm running into missing dll's. For instance when running the CountProcesses example, I run into the following stack trace:

mono CountProcesses.exe test.etl

Before digging too deeply into the missing libraries, is traceprocessing intended to be cross-platform? Or does it rely on platform dependent libs in Windows?

System Setup:

OS: macOS Catalina 10.15.4
Mono JIT compiler version 6.8.0.105 (2019-10/82fffe07497 Tue Feb 4 10:09:51 EST 2020)
.NET Core SDK (3.1.201)

Solution

(I am a developer at Microsoft who works on the TraceProcessor project.)

Currently, the library relies on some Windows-only components and cannot be run on a Mac.
