They're included within the .csproj, which means that I should have mentioned that you need to run xbuild on the .csproj. :-)

This fails:

	xbuild YourSolution.sln /t:Install

This _may_ fail:

	xbuild /t:Install

It will fail if the directory contains both .sln and .csproj files, as the .sln gets priority.

You need to explicitly provide the project file:

	xbuild YourProject.csproj /t:Install

MSBuild on Windows is the same way: there are SignAndroidPackage and the other targets, but they'll only be found if you build the .csproj, not the .sln.

They're imported automatically in the .csproj:

	<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Novell\Novell.MonoDroid.CSharp.targets" />

I would guess that your solution has both Mono for Android projects and MonoMac projects, and somehow you're executing the MonoMac project.

Yes, they're just targets. I don't know about RebuildAll, but Clean is also specified on the .sln:

	xbuild /t:Clean
	xbuild /t:Clean YourSolution.sln
