How can I build or get the msbuild toolchain?

[srxqds]

I found that there msbuild tools in Mono release sdk, in the install folder:

But there no such file (msbuild.dll)in my self build folder:

how can I do it?

You should see it under lib/mono/msbuild/Current/bin/MSBuild.dll. If you still can't find it, then could you please share the full directory listing from lib/mono/msbuild/Current/bin?

Here are the folder all list:

Can you also check lib/mono/msbuild/15.0/bin? And where did you get this mono from?

there is no lib/mono/msbuild/15.0/bin folder.
This is build myself, clone from the repo.

How did you build it? and how did you install it? Maybe something went wrong during the build?

Also, what about the mono package that you can download. Can you share the link where you get that from? It has the lib/mono/msbuild/15.0/bin folder, like in your first post. Could you share the full directory listing for that?

I build mono as this website show: https://www.mono-project.com/docs/compiling-mono/windows/
And I dowload the mono package from : https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/

I'm having the same problem on linux.
I've been following the Building Mono from a Release Package steps from https://www.mono-project.com/docs/compiling-mono/linux/
I downloaded this tarball: https://download.mono-project.com/sources/mono/mono-6.4.0.198.tar.xz
This was my configure output: configure_output.txt
This is my current directory structure after building

Thanks for your help!

I also have the same issue on linux (specifically arch). My directories look the same as the ones described by @danechambers .

@radical Can you help us , I think is so useful that we can use msbuild with install mono or vs.
We embed mono with UE4, but without msbuild we can't build sln, We just use xbuild now.

Same problem building from source on FreeBSD, which steps need to be followed to build msbuild? This really should be clarified

[pracplayopen]

same problem building on tinycore linux, default build instructions does not seem to build msbuild or MSBuild.dll
