[Mono-dev] Known issue with xbuild and line-feeds in Cygwin?

[Bob Summerwill]

Thanks for the link, Marius.

The resolution for this particular case turned out to be trying to invoke
MSBuild.exe from within Cygwin with a Linux-style path to the SLN, not
related to line-endings.    Seems like that sed was fixing problems in an
older version of xbuild and wasn't needed anymore.   The real bug was just
in the same place, but different :-)

FIXED.


Cheers,
Bob
