[Mono-dev] mono 4.0.0 xbuild won't build project

It's just a simple helloworld as well, but with datetime output:
 
using System;
 
namespace HelloWorld {
    public class Program {
        public static void Main(string[] args) {
            Console.WriteLine("Hello World " + DateTime.Now);
        }
    }
}
 
If this doesn't work, then there's no point trying to get xbuild working as the code above is as basic as it gets.

Unfortunately the latest build...with ncurses this time...didn't change anything.  Same output for xbuild.



Alexander, could you send the code for the Project.exe you sent me?

Can you try this simple Hello World exe to confirm basic Mono is working and it's something specific to xbuild: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21102229/Program.zip (it just prints the current date).
 
I believe there's some terminal requirements, but not sure. Redirecting output to a file might work.

I tried it just now and I get the same result as before, unfortunately.



Is there a terminfo/ncurses requirement for xbuild?  Or for mono in general? The rebuild I mentioned earlier was done in order to make sure -lncurses and all related headers and libs were included but it's possible I left something out and need to re-build again.



Additionally, is there a terminal tyoe requirement for xbuild?  The android environment i'm using only comes with two types but I;ve got a working tic and sources so I can always install more.

So I was wondering if you were able to run xbuild using the mono option -v, since xbuild /verbosity:diagnostic never spills even the first line of the diag text: Loading default tasks for ToolsVersion
Using mono_options -v 'should' dump about 6500 lines before even getting to the version/copyright notice... assuming something in there is causing a silent fault(?) and exit.

 Thanks!

     Can you use a pastebin to attach the actual file you're trying to

     not work as-is.

     A slightly modified file works as expected for me:

                 Yeah, but it's much easier on another machine since we

                 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...

                     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

                     I;ve tried /verbosity:detailed and several other
