Fake on Mono

[Ari]

Hi,

I've recently started learning/using f# using windows .net via Visual Studio. However, I'd like to develop & deploy some on linux with mono. To that end I was planning on using fake to build/deploy apps. But most of the examples I've read using msbuild, while I believe I can use xbuild in its place does anyone know of fake examples that do not use msbuild/xbuild? In other words use the f# compiler only? Thanks.

Hi,

 

Xbuilding fsproj files should work out of the box.

 

What’s your concrete problem?

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed; didn't receive a notice of reply.

The specific warnings and errors I'm facing are:

Hi,

 

this is a general issue with F# support on mono and not specific to FAKE.

Please try to diff your fsproj with https://github.com/fsharp/FAKE/blob/master/src/app/FakeLib/FakeLib.fsproj

 

The FakeLib.fsproj is working on mono and I take it as a sample when I try to make my projects mono compatible.

 

You could also try to use https://github.com/fsprojects/FSharp.ProjectScaffold

 

Cheers,

Steffen

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions.

Using XBuild Engine Version 12.0 and Mono Version 3.2.8.0, I was able to compile using xbuild once I changed the "ToolsVersion" to "4.0" and removed the "Choose" tag from the fsproj file.

Best,
Ari
