When you get "Failed to resolve assembly: Y" it doesn't mean that ILRepack wants to merge it, it means that it just needs to read Y to be able to understand X better. You can help ILRepack by providing a /lib:
Thank you! To whomever sees this in the future, I wrote:
<ILRepack
LibraryPath="extra_dlls_dir"
/>
or
<ILRepack
LibraryPath="@(LibraryPath)"
/>
<ItemGroup>
<LibraryPath Include="extra_dlls_dir"/>
</ItemGroup>
I'm trying to merge a library X that references an optional library Y (it can run without it, any potential exceptions are ignored). However, ILRepack goes out of its way to merge all references, including the optional ones that I removed from my project, which results in "Failed to resolve assembly: Y". I tried adding
<InputAssemblies Exclude="Y"/>
but the error still occurs.The only solution I can think of is to make a copy of X that doesn't reference Y at all, but then I would have to update two copies of X in parallel.
How can I force exclude a library reference so ILRepack won't try to merge it?
