Cobra 0.9.6 Not Compiling

Postby Kookerus » Sat Jan 10, 2015 9:54 pm

I'm having an issue compiling 0.9.6 on Debian 7.7.7 Wheezy. The weird thing is that 0.9.4 compiles without a problem.
Output from
Code: Select all
mono --version
is:
Image
The error I get from compiling is
Code: Select all
run: xbuild Cobra.MSBuild/TestProjects/ExampleSolution/HelloWorld/HelloWorld.cobraproj /target:rebuild
** ERROR: Cannot build Cobra project file using installed Cobra.MSBuild library
Need help with the above error?
 * Make sure you ran with sudo or as root.
 * Mono 2.10.x or higher are recommended.
 * Review http://cobra-language.com/troubleshooting
 * Ask at http://cobra-language.com/discuss
 * Ask at http://cobra-language.com/irc

I'm obviously running as root, and I've got the correct version of mono. What's wrong?

Do you have xbuild installed? This is Mono's equivalent for msbuild. Try installing it and then run the cobra installer again.
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install mono-xbuild

Yes, I have the latest version available in the Debian repos.
I upgraded my system and it still throws the same error.

Try running the same command the installer program is failing on. From ~/Downloads/Cobra-0.9.6/Source, execute

Code: Select all
xbuild Cobra.MSBuild/TestProjects/ExampleSolution/HelloWorld/HelloWorld.cobraproj /target:rebuild


What's the error message? Here's sample output when I do it from my Ubuntu 14.04 box:

Well, I googled this part of the output:
Code: Select all
error : Error initializing task ItemGroup: Not registered task ItemGroup

and I got a lot of hits that indicate that Mono 3 or higher is required for xbuild to support this task. I'm running a source build of Mono and I remember it being a pain to get it to compile. Looks like some packages have been created since then though. Maybe try the instructions for the Debian/Ubunutu apt-repo from here: http://www.mono-project.com/docs/gettin ... all/linux/

Unfortunately, all versions past the Wheezy repos require a dist-upgrade to Jessie, and I don't feel like upgrading to a distro in testing.
Thanks for all the help though, I'll just use 0.9.4 until I can get my hands on Jessie.
