Mono: Creating a .NET command-line solution on Linux

Question

I recently installed mono on my Linux box to be able to do some .Net programming in a more familiar environment.

I am trying to create a solution from the command line without having to run a powerful monodetector. In windows, this can be done using Msbuild.exe. It seems I can not find this file with mono tools.

The nearest mdtool , which (if I understand correctly) is used to create separate projects instead of the whole solution).

How can I create an entire solution from the command line on Linux using mono?

By the way, I am running Ubuntu 10.0.4

Answer 1

Just run xbuild in the same way that you will run msbuild in the Microsoft.Net Framework. You do not need to install Monodevelop, xbuild comes with a standard Mono installation.
