What is the Json.NET Mono assembly reference? - mono

I am trying to compile this Json.NET code:
using Newtonsoft.Json;
...
MyDesc d = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<MyDesc>(jsonInput);
...
with this command via mono (on ubuntu):
$ mcs Main.cs -lib:/home/username/JsonNET/Net40/Newtonsoft.Json.dll
But i am getting "no assembly reference"-error:
error CS0246: The type or namespace name `Newtonsoft' could not be found.
Are you missing an assembly reference
What is the correct Json.NET Mono assebmly reference?
(-lib option looks right for this, but it does not work -lib:PATH1[,PATHn] Specifies the location of referenced assemblies )

The mono compiler command to reference other assemblies is -r:PATH/TO/ASSEMBLY. You should try this with the current version of mono.
$ mcs Main.cs -r:/home/username/JsonNET/Net40/Newtonsoft.Json.dll
Reference: http://linux.die.net/man/1/mcs or type into your shell:
$ man mcs

why is gmcs command in bash(mono) missing the namespace `System.Threading'?

I input this command
gmcs -t:library Program.cs
and get this error
Program.cs(6,14): error CS0234: The type or namespace name `Tasks' does not exist in the namespace `System.Threading'. Are you missing an assembly reference?
I get I have to give it the paths and everything, but how? can't find the way to do it
gmcs targets the .NET 2.0 profile, Task didn't exist back then.
On a recent Mono just use mcs, as gmcs is deprecated and was removed from Mono 4.0.

running asp.vnext starter project from sources

do you know if is available some guide how to run a project created from the sample starter project from sources? I suppose that cloning the repositories from github and configuring the solution may be possible to do this, may be very useful to study how it works.
thanks,
Luca

I cloned and added those repositories:
Configuration,DataCommon,Data Protection,Dependency Injection,Diagnostic,Entity Framework, File System, Hosting, HttpAbstraction,Identity, KRuntime, Logging, Mvc, Razor, Routing, Scaffolding, Security, Static Files, WebSockets Abstractions.
Seems to me those are the needed repositories need to run it from local sources.

Install VS 2015
Clone the repos that you want to build
If you want to build the dev branch, make sure you install the dev KRE (https://github.com/aspnet/home/tree/dev)
Open the solution in VS and build
If you want to include the source of one of the dependencies, you can:
clone the repo locally with git (eg. git clone http://github.com/aspnet/Mvc for the MVC 6 repository)
execute kpm restore in the repos local folder
then reference the source in your solution's global.json. Add the "sources" attributes as follows:
global.json
{
"sources": [ "src", "test", "/path/to/your/project/src" ]
}
You might also need to tweak the dependencies in your project.json for the projects where you want to use the source:
"Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc": "6.0.0-beta1"
try changing it to
"Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc": ""
Another thing to try is to use kpm restore in your project folder. The K Package Manager should go and get any of the dependencies listed in your project.json file, but in practice, I found that it doesn't always find the specific versions I'm looking for.

building mono's System.Configuration project failed with error "ProjectReference corlib-net not found"

I want to make some bugfix in mono.
I have mono installed on my openSuse and download mono source code from github.
Then i want build System.Configuration project with this command:
xbuild System.Configuration-net_4_5.sln
and recieve 31 Errors, most of them like this
error CS0518: The predefined type 'System.Object' is not defined or imported
Also i recieve following warning:
warning : ProjectReference '..\corlib\corlib-net_4_5.csproj' not found, neither by guid 'some guid' nor by project file name 'path to project'
This project does exist in this location.
What's wrong?
Thanks.
You have to make the code change and then recompile the whole Mono following the instructions on how to compile Mono from source code. You cannot build individual projects, as the referenced projects cannot be resolved by 'xbuild' correctly.

MSBuild failing on Automated Test project

I just added an automated test project to my C# solution and checked it into my build server.
When the build script runs using MSBuild (.NET Framework 3.5), it gives me several errors (such as the following):
**cs(2,17): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'VisualStudio' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
**.cs(21,17): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'TestContext' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
**.cs(73,10): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'TestMethod' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
**.cs(73,10): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'TestMethodAttribute' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
**.cs(14,6): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'TestClass' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
**.cs(14,6): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'TestClassAttribute' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
When I run the .NET 3.5 msbuild on my computer, it builds correctly.
The build server does not have .NET 4.0 on it, and stepping it up is not an option. Can anyone suggest what could be causing the difference and what I can do to get the test project building successfully ?
Thanks
As stated above, the easiest thing to do is to install the appropriate version of Visual Studio on your build server to get all of the MSTest dependencies. This is what is typically done.
If for whatever reason you can't do that, the following page shows how to get your dependencies available without the VS2008 install:

Any suggestions what the problem could be? Running ms build from the command works for the solution and without any additional parameters when the project was compiles in VS bevor. After a clean solution the same errors occur. Must be some parameter or reference problem; Line two talks bout v4 and v3.5 problems; but i can't figure out how to solve this.
Greets
Error info directly shows that you use incorrect version of MSBuild
This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded.
Try to rebuild with MSBuild 4.0
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe *.sln /t:rebuild
OR/AND from VS2010 Command Line.
I had a similar problem which seemed to be caused by running Jenkins as a service under the SYSTEM account. Somehow cmd.exe was not referencing all the necessary environment variables to be able to find my NUnit assemblies.
If you're running Jenkins as a service, try setting it to run as your user account and see if that helps.
Im building from the default windows cmd using:
C:...\MSBuild.exe *.sln
The solution-projects are all 3.5; only the Unit-Test Project is 4.0 (as you can't change this)
I just mentioned, that building it that way works, when i build it first with VS and don't deleted (clean solution) the binaries. Never mind.
How do i have to use msbuild from cmd to build a *.sln including unittests?
