Cannot install in MonoAndroid or WindowsPhone project

[luzianscherrer]

I'm trying to get Baseclass.Contrib.Nuget.Output installed in a Xamarin Android and Windows Phone project in Visual Studio 2015 due to a dependency. Unfortunately that does not work:

Is there probably a workaround for this?

This package only makes sense as dependency to another package.

Is the output you have sent just to show me the problem?

The package currently only supports net40, you could try to change the nuspec and build the package yourself and send me a PR if it's working

Yes, exactly. I'm trying to install libsodium-net which requires Baseclass.Controb.Nuget.Output. I just wanted to show the error. The author of libsodium-net recommended to ask you about it in this thread.

I will try to change the nuspec, but I'm really a newbie in the whole C#/NuGet world :) You'll get a PR if I can get something going.

Maintainer of libsodium-net here, I think this issue is purely on the side of my project - or so it seems. I think this can be closed.
