There is a convention where an MSBuild file named
Before.<SolutionName>.sln.targetswill get imported prior to a SLNfile getting built. This enables us to import
PrepareWindows.targetsand enable
msbuild Xamarin.Android.sln /t:Prepareto workappropriately.
macOS/linux have remained unchanged, since
PrepareWindows.targetscurrently only works for Windows.
make preparecould be ported toMSBuild in the future.
Question
Do we need to look into
make preparefor the other platforms yet?If
make preparewas fully ported to MSBuild, you could run the samecommand to build on any platform:
I tested, and
xbuildlooks like it supports theBefore.<SolutionName>.sln.targetsconvention.
