No less `csc` works on Mono

Question

Mono is a set of build tools. Before and after version 5.0, the Mono tools never worked, except csc. To clarify, although the version is not related to the problem, since the version 5.0 Mono has integrated tools from . NET, such as msbuild, nuget etc. and obsoleting some (xbuild and maybe more). Mono also has the tool mkbundle that does not work properly today... Everything from Windows 8(.1) to Windows 10, to me Mono has never done anything.

The mkbundle exports applications to executables, installers, etc.. Now it works instead of giving export error, but it generates failed executables that print Error mapping file: No error instead of Olá, mundo!.

msbuild failure to:

TurboCS.csproj(11,9): error MSB6006: "csc.exe" foi encerrado com o código 1.

And here my Csproj, according to the documentation:

Any idea?

No, Mono is the equivalent of . NET originally created to run on other platforms, and have an alternative implementation with different features. Today it is less necessary because o . NET has virtually everything Mono had.

The way to build applications in Mono is different from . NET, there is no compromise with the compatibility between them, are different tools that should be used differently. Some things can be compatible. And of course, the code is compatible.

Important reading: The . NET Framework is dead?.
