I downloaded a C# project from github and compiled it with Visual Studio using the dotnet build command and apparently everything went well. But I can't use it on Centos, not even using Mono . Which command should I use to compile a C# project in VisualStudio for use on Linux? I used dotnet build which generated me a project with .exe file and I tried to run it with Mono and I got this error File does not contain a valid CIL image.
sorry if this is the wrong area to ask
There are different ways to do it and they depend on what you're trying to achieve.
From .NET application publishing overview
Type Command framework-dependent executable for the current platform. dotnet publish framework-dependent executable for a specific platform. dotnet publish -r --self-contained false framework-dependent cross-platform binary. dotnet publish self-contained executable. dotnet publish -r
From the Examples section:
Publish an app cross-platform framework-dependent. A Linux 64-bit executable is created along with the dll file. This command doesn't work with .NET Core SDK 2.1.
dotnet publish -r linux-x64 --self-contained false
You may be interested in Single-file deployment and executable:
Bundling all application-dependent files into a single binary provides an application developer with the attractive option to deploy and distribute the application as a single file. Single-file deployment is available for both the framework-dependent deployment model and self-contained applications.
