How to solve xbuild '.NETPortable, Version = v4.0, Profile = Profile344' problem on Linux

Question

I tried to compile my project with the following instructions to get the following error.

My script;

sudo apt-get install mono-complete mozroots --import --sync mkdir gthb cd gthb/ git clone https://github.com/ziyasal/InfluxDB.Net.git cd InfluxDB.Net/ mono .nuget/NuGet.exe install NUnit.Runners mono .nuget/NuGet.exe restore InfluxDB.Net.sln xbuild 

Output;

XBuild Version 12.0 Mono, Version 3.2.8.0 Copyright (C) 2005-2013 Various monographers

The assembly began on 06/01/2015 18:31:01.

Finally, I found a solution (workaround) for this. I copied the .NETPortable folder ( C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Reference Assemblies \ Microsoft \ Framework.NETPortable ) from the Win box on Linux ( / usr / lib / mono / xbuild -frameworks / ).

 sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys A7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF echo "deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-xamarin.list sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install mono-devel sudo apt-get install mono-complete sudo apt-get install referenceassemblies-pcl #Import the root certificates using the mozroots tool mozroots --import --sync #UPDATE: referenceassemblies-pcl package installs required profiles! #####DEPRECATED####### #I uploaded .NET Portable folder to temporary place. #sudo apt-get install p7zip-full #wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/33940399/NETPortable.7z #Override existing #sudo 7z x NETPortable.7z -o/usr/lib/mono/xbuild-frameworks/ -aoa #####DEPRECATED####### mono .nuget/NuGet.exe restore InfluxDB.Net.sln xbuild mono packages/NUnit.Runners.2.6.4/tools/nunit-console.exe InfluxDB.Net.Tests/bin/Debug/InfluxDB.Net.Tests.dll 

Now it compiles!

The error message indicates that you do not have collections of references to the library of portable classes.

I would look at a later version of Mono 3.10 and install the referenceassemblies-pcl package. More detailed instructions on the Mono site about using Mono on Linux.
