FYI, xbuild/msbuild probes for *.proj/*.sln and builds the first it finds when you omit the argument.

The project is https://github.com/Pash-Project/Pash which builds fine on Linux with Mono on TravisCI, so I guess it's something specific to the xbuild on android environment, most likely some runtime issue.

Can you use a pastebin to attach the actual file you're trying to build? The text you attached has two syntax errors in it and would not work as-is.
A slightly modified file works as expected for me: https://gist.github.com/alanmcgovern/c2772a9cafd0d6a5b5ee

Hope that helps!

I will try the --trace xbuild after I rebuild mono again.

Try `xbuild /t:Build Pash.proj`

Yeah, but it's much easier on another machine since we got the official packages for Mono there :)
 
Try running xbuild with "MONO_OPTIONS=--trace xbuild" to show if/what it does before it exits.

Excellent point.



Then again...i'd have to install mono on another machine.  Also, I kinda would like to figure out why xbuild is misbehaving on this one...

No idea about the xbuild issue, but you should be able to build Pash on another machine and just copy over the .exe, it is managed code after all ;)

Just built and installed mono 4.0 from sources.  Basic "Hello World" console program builds and runs successfully but basic "Hello World" project (hello.proj) won't build; xbuild displays the banner and then exits with no errors and without building the project.



Here's the hello.proj

< Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">;

 <Target Name="Build">

  <Message Importance="High" Text="Hello, World!" />

 </Target>

</Project>



I;ve tried /verbosity:detailed and several other flags.  I've tried running path/to/mono -v /path/to/xbuild.exe proj.proj. Same thing happens every time:



/bld/pash/Pash-Project-Pash-bc07215 $ xbuild Pash.proj

XBuild Engine Version 12.0

Mono, Version 4.0.0.0

Copyright (C) 2005-2013 Various Mono authors

/bld/pash/Pash-Project-Pash-bc07215 $



Please help...this is driving me crazy.
