[IronPython] Fwd: [Mono-dev] Current 'xbuild' status

[Tomas Matousek]

It would be great if we could also build IronRuby.

It currently crashes:

Current xbuild status:

It can handle solutions (.sln) now, thanks to Jonathan Chambers,
with C#, VB.net projects. Handles embedded resources, satellite
assemblies, project references etc.

Eg. Paint.Net 3 ( builds completely with it now, IronPython (2.0.1)
builds, IronPython svn (builds with compile time errors) etc.

Only .net 2.0 projects are supported currently though. I will start
adding support for newer versions very soon, also ASP.NET, Silverlight
etc projects.

This is part of the mono 2.4.2 release
(http://mono.ximian.com/monobuild/preview/download-preview/)
and is a *big* improvement over xbuild in the last release.
Would be really helpful to get feedback and bug reports on this :)
