Xbuild issue on windows #3

Open dazinator opened 7 years ago

dazinator commented 7 years ago

To test with xbuild on windows I did this:

  1. Installed mono from: http://www.mono-project.com/download/#download-win
  2. Cloned this repo to a local directory.
  3. Copied my previously installed mongame folder containing monogame targets from C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild into C:\Program Files (x86)\Mono\lib\mono\xbuild. This is because when running xbuild this is where $(MSBuildExtensionsPath) seems to resolve to.
  4. Copied the targets file in the repo over the top of C:\Program Files (x86)\Mono\lib\mono\xbuild\MonoGame\v3.0\MonoGame.Content.Builder.targets
  5. Open a command prompt, and run xbuild {path to .csproj} /verbosity:diagnostic

The build failes for me with a null ref exception. Here is the detailed output:


C:\Program Files (x86)\Mono\bin>xbuild "C:\Users\Darrell\Source\Repos\MonoGameContentReferenceTest\TestMgcb\TestMgcb.csproj" /verbosity:diagnostic
