Seems like at least one nuget package could not be restored:

This project references NuGet package(s) that are missing on this computer. Use NuGet Package Restore to download them.  The missing file is ../../packages/xunit.runner.visualstudio.2.1.0/build/net20/xunit.runner.visualstudio.props

Try to run nuget.exe in the nfbc-master folder:
mono nuget.exe restore

If there is no nuget.exe download it:
wget http://nuget.org/nuget.exe
and then import Mozilla trusted root certificates into the mono certificates store:
mozroots --import --sync
Then try to restore the packages again.

Kind of the same problem here - after trying mono nuget.exe restore the result is:

mono nuget.exe restore 
MSBuild auto-detection: using msbuild version '14.0' from '/usr/lib/mono/xbuild/14.0/bin'. Error parsing solution file at ~/Downloads/nbfc/nbfc/NoteBookFanControl.sln: The assembly name is invalid.

I'm using mono 5.0.1.1 and I'm on the master branch of this repo. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Ok, I fixed it by using a stable nuget version.
For some reason wget http://nuget.org/nuget.exe pulls the most recent nuget version (4.3.0-preview3) and not the last stable one. With the last stable 4.1.0 I was able to build nbfc sucessfully on Ubuntu 16.04

[hirschmann]

Actuelly, the version that wget pulls is outdated. Therefore the build script updates nuget via mono nuget.exe update -self

Unfortunately nuget always updates to the latest version, no matter if it's stable or a preview. According to the nuget team this behavior is intended.

I currently don't have a solution for this problem. Some of NBFC's dependencies require an up to date nuget.exe, so I can't just remove the self update from the build script.

I think I have found a good solution to the "nuget update problem":

• 92e7edf
• 31d4328

The build scripts now download the "latest recommended version" of nuget and update nuget manually, if the attempt to restore the packages fails.
