An idea crossed my mind. Couldn't we build the Mono binaries on the ubuntu
machines? .net core should build both on ubuntu and on windows. nant is
available also for ubuntu and a perfect candidate for a build tool. It
would be even nicer if we could simply add mono as a dependency (i.e.
nuget) and for example cake would take care of fetching the compiler, build
and test the assemblies for us. We have set up cake at work for this
purpose but are not targeting multiple .net versions and not even mono. I
have read that cake can build also with the mono compiler, but have no
experience with it. Cake would further probably completely replace nant
since it can easily invoke mvn to build the website too.
