I'm getting error messages when trying to open the solution file in Xamarin on windows environment, mentioning that certain paths are missing:

Unknown project type: PackagingProject 
error while trying to load the project "...\mymedialite.csproj": Could not find a part of the path "...src\MyMediaLite\bin"

After creating this folder and reopening solution, another message:

Unknown project type: PackagingProject 
error while trying to load the project "...\mymedialite.csproj": Could not find a part of the path "...\MyMediaLite\package\lib\net40"

Could it be that development in windows is not supported? When googling this error, it mentions that this happens when trying to open iOS solutions in Windows Xamarin, yet I wouldn't know why this would be an iOS solution so I'm guessing this is wrong?

Regards,

Julien

Hello,

I cannot really help here, because I never used a Windows dev environment (Xamarin or Visual Studio) myself, and most likely never will.

Which does not mean that I am not willing to support it -- I just need help from others.

Can you try to modify it so that it works, and then we will see that it still works on Linux/Mac OS X?

Maybe others on the list have more experience in that area?

Cheers,
   Z.

PS: Another possibility is to develop in a Linux environment hosted in a virtual machine ...

I apparently encounter exactly the same issue on Mac OS X...

Which IDE do you use? I thought I could use the MonoDevelop link (which leads to Xamarin) for this?

I use MonoDevelop 5.10 on Ubuntu 16.04.

I need to do some more testing to be really sure, but got it to compile without errors.

Fix consisted of removing the "Packages" path from the solution file and changing the paths to some of those libraries (Math.Numerics.dll and such).
