[Mono-dev] Building linker

[Alexander Köplinger]

Can you post a full build log? Did you modify 3.6.1 to 3.8.0 everywhere?
It looks like the test dll wasn't built.

For real world use the readme here has examples: https://github.com/mono/linker/blob/master/linker/README

Note, I’m using NUnit.ConsoleRunner.3.8.0 instead of 3.6.1.

To use this in "real life”, for example if I had a simple HelloWorld.exe, what invocation would I use to process this with the linker?

We just run "check" in monobuild in CI, that seems to work.

I got a clean build in mono build (check failed though). I also ran bootstrap & build in core build. Again, all clean. How do I test drive the linker?


The 16.04 repo should work fine on 17.10.

Can I install 5.4 on my Ubuntu 17.10 using the 16.04 repo or should I just build it from github.com<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com&data=02%7C01%7Calkpli%40microsoft.com%7C1ec7d8cdc13c454b2c5708d5680a4daa%7Cee3303d7fb734b0c8589bcd847f1c277%7C1%7C0%7C636529315822515342&sdata=2MXBbHpUVviLNF37hi039jjUJgusjq3EMVju8KQqL9k%3D&reserved=0> using 5.8 tag?
