Question

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

I am trying to build a solution from the command line without having to fireup the heavy monodevelop. On windows this can be done using Msbuild.exe. I cannot seem to find that file with the mono tools.

The nearest is mdtool which (if I understand correctly) is used to build individual projects instead of an entire solution).

How may I build an entire solution from the command line on Linux using mono?

BTW, I am running Ubuntu 10.0.4

Simply run xbuild just as you would execute msbuild on Microsoft .Net Framework. You don’t need Monodevelop installed, xbuild comes with the standard Mono installation.
