deb packages became hellish due to dependencies on system libraries which differ between every distribution (causing a support and building nightmare). MonoDevelop is a good example - somewhere between 5.10 and 6.1, building. not just shipping source - but shipping a fully prepped package-or-similar that just works). Releasing ISV apps for Linux is hard (i.e. Maybe Xamarin should provide their own.Īnd it includes a build task for installing the build requirements on debian and debian derivatives, and some additional build tasks for common git submodule stuff.

Sadly this ZIP library didn't have any official releases for over 4 years, so there are only a lot of inofficial variants on Nuget. Maybe they use a different version there too. The one used by Xamarin has a really long-known bug: it forces \ as the path separator which won't work. needs to be replaced with a patched variant. The java include directory path needs to be fixed (at least on debian it could never work with the default one).

The modified makefile does exactly that, plus some additional things:

The default xamarin-android build only includes pieces of it. As a vague guess for a starting point, what you’d need to do is: You should be able to hack it to make it work PR’s welcome, or wait until one of us gets around to it. Jon Pryor recently wrote on the mailing list: Actually, you can build it from source right now.Ĭurrently, some things need to be patched and some files need to be copied to different locations, because their build scripts aren't quite ready for linux yet.
