.NET Core support

[chaliy]

Hello, is there any plans to support .NET Core?

[cdrnet]

To my understanding, in theory our PCL profile 259 is supposed to be supported by .Net Core. Unfortunately I had to stop my experiments, among others due to blocking .Net Native bugs (#361). Also, our PCL builds have some limitations including the lack of support for native providers.

We certainly want to support .Net Core, properly, including native providers. Ideally we could add a build targetting one of the new netstandard 1.x monikers. Maybe this could be based on an earlier PoC in #265.

Let me know if you'd like some help with this. I see you have a net45+win8+wp8+wpa81 project which maps to netstandard1.0. You could reuse this build and merely package it with its dependencies, which I see would be:

      <group targetFramework=".NETStandard1.0">
        <dependency id="NETStandard.Library" version="1.6.0" />
        <dependency id="System.Runtime.Serialization.Primitives" version="4.1.1" />
      </group>

I'd also like to see this soon, as I'm helping with porting documentation at tryfsharp to the .net core site repo and we used this package to demonstrate its use in stocks.

Just to clarify, by reusing the PCL-259 (net45+win8+wp8+wpa81) build you mean the build configuration or even the compiled assembly? And then copy that assembly to lib\netstandard1.0 in the NuGet package and declare the additional dependencies for the .NETStandard1.0 group?

@cdrnet Would @ericstj 's solution work? Are there dependencies in the project that .net core libraries may not have?

Yeah, that will work work as a quick fix. If you change your dependencies you should update the list, but given this is a low-level math library I don't expect your dependencies change very often.

Now that Visual studio 2017 is out we would really like this functionality as .net core is required for docker support which in turn gives us a more scale-able solution is anyone still working on this?

[stefanks]

Also interested in the current status.

[gentisaliu]

Also interested in the current status and would very much need .NET Core support.

[karlra]

Same here, could someone summarize what is required to achieve this so that the community can help?

.NET Core 2.0 is out, presumably .NET Standard and it's new classes are out too.

[DenisBabarykin]

@cdrnet, are there any plans to do this soon? Can we count on it?

[cdrnet]

Yes (.Net Standard 2.0).

[narciero]

is there an ETA for .NET Core support?

[cdrnet]

Closing this, since the first alpha releases of v4 with .Net Standard 1.3/2.0 support are out. Please let me know if you have any issues. Thanks a lot for your contributions!

You may wish to consider listing .NET Core support on the homepage. For example https://numerics.mathdotnet.com/Compatibility.html doesn't mention Core or Standard anywhere.

Thanks for the hint! I've updated the page.
