Allow linking packages that have arbitrary contents in the 'lib' folder. #7

felix-b commented 5 years ago

Currently, package 'lib' folder must be result of compiling a single project (e.g. automatic packaging of project on build). Packages with arbitrary contents of 'lib' achieved with manually authored .nuspec are not supported.

Is this the cause of the below error message?

Fatal error: Error: Cannot link package My.Package: 'lib' folder not found, 
expected ~/.nuget/packages/my.package/1.0.0/lib

I wanna link a local package that I have the source code to, but I do not have access to the original nuget feed. I've run dotnet restore, dotnet build, and dotnet publish on the package source project, but it never end up in my .nuget/packages folder.

I'm on mac, and my `.nuget/packages/ folder only seems to contain nugets that I've fetched from a remote feed.

@Jakst, thanks for using NuLink! your issue is tracked by #12 (Allow linking unpushed packages).
