syncromatics/build-box repository overview

⁠syncromatics/build-box

This is a Docker image to do .NET builds (Mono and .NET Core) for various Syncromatics projects.

⁠Installed tools, utilities, and packages

⁠.NET Core 2.0

This image is based on the microsoft/dotnet:2-sdk Docker image, so it includes all of the .NET Core SDK tools in that image.

⁠Mono

The mono-complete package, version 5.4.1, is installed.

⁠Cake Build

A Cake build script and several commonly-used tools and addins are pre-installed. The build script is availale on the PATH as cake and the following tools and addins are installed:

• Cake.Compression
• Cake.Docker
• Cake.FileHelpers
• Cake.Git
  • Note: this image is built with a workaround for using the system-installed libgit2 binary instead of the package-installed version.
• Cake.Testing
• SharpZipLib
• xunit.runner.console

The tools directory is located at /build/tools.

When running a Cake target inside this container, use cake instead of your repo's copy of build.sh. (i.e., cake -t TargetName)

⁠NuGet

A copy of the NuGet CLI, version 4.3.0, is available on the PATH as nuget.

⁠Xamarin Android

To build a Xamarin Android project simple use xabuild in place of msbuild.
