nuget pack does not work as expected on a fresh install of Linux.

[ArtOfSettling]

This is very similar to the following bug (#1946), NuGet seems to have issues on Linux based platforms. I've filed a bug with Xamarin, as you stated in the previous bug, this was a problem with mono.

That bug is here : https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=52797 However, they've stated the issue lies in your hands. Thankfully, it seems they're also proposing a solution!

Please let me know if I'm doing something incorrect on my end, but everything should be fine, since I'm running fresh installs of everything.

Ubuntu with a fresh install of mono-complete (4.8.0) and the provided xbuild
nuget pack aProject.csproj -verbosity detailed

example output :

@zhili1208 would you take a look at this?

[zhili1208]

Could you try to use nuget.exe 4.3 from https://www.nuget.org/downloads? Specify -MsbuildPath [the directory contains msbuild]

mono nuget.exe pack aProject.csproj -MsbuildPath [the directory contains msbuild.exe]

[ArtOfSettling]

This command actually worked, which is great!

I couldn't use my manually installed version of MSBuild, but It was sufficient to tell mono not to use Build, like follows ....

-MsbuildPath /usr/lib/mono/msbuild/15.0/bin/

;)

@ArtOfSettling glad that it works for you now, are we good to close this issue now? :)

[ArtOfSettling]

Sure!
