Do you have any ideas on how to fix that ?

[yoann-dufresne]

Apparently, this is the following subcommand that is not working (from build.rs) :

 dotnet build --configuration Release

I installed the wrong .NET sdk.

Problem solved -_-

[dsnopek]

I had this same problem. For if anyone finds this later, I made a PR that attempts to update the README to direct users to install the right SDK:
