I tried xbuild from mono master as well as mono 3.2.8, and it *did* complain about the syntax error you made. The output from master is:

Once I fixed the extraneous space between '<' and "Project", it printed Hello world as expected:

A precise repro steps would help inspecting possible bugs.

Thing is xbuild doesn't even complain about the syntax errors in that project. It doesn't do anything except for output version info then exit.

I'll pastebin the file ifthe rebuild I;m working on doesn;t resolve the issue.

Thanks!

    Can you use a pastebin to attach the actual file you're trying to
    build? The text you attached has two syntax errors in it and would
    not work as-is.

    A slightly modified file works as expected for me:

    Hope that helps!

        I did try xbuild /t:Build Pash.proj. Same result.

        I will try the --trace xbuild after I rebuild mono again.

            You didn't tell xbuild to build anything and you didn't
            set a default target in your proj file.

            Try `xbuild /t:Build Pash.proj`

                Yeah, but it's much easier on another machine since we
                got the official packages for Mono there :)

                Try running xbuild with "MONO_OPTIONS=--trace xbuild"
                to show if/what it does before it exits.

                Excellent point.

                Then again...i'd have to install mono on another
                machine. Also, I kinda would like to figure out why
                xbuild is misbehaving on this one...

                    No idea about the xbuild issue, but you should be

                    copy over the .exe, it is managed code after all ;)

                    Subject: [Mono-dev] mono 4.0.0 xbuild won't build
                    project

                    Just built and installed mono 4.0 from sources.
                    Basic "Hello World" console program builds and
                    runs successfully but basic "Hello World" project
                    (hello.proj) won't build; xbuild displays the
                    banner and then exits with no errors and without
                    building the project.

                    Here's the hello.proj
                    < Project
                    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003";>
                    <http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003%22%3e>;
                    <Target Name="Build">
                    <Message Importance="High" Text="Hello, World!" />
                    </Target>
                    </Project>

                    I;ve tried /verbosity:detailed and several other
                    flags. I've tried running path/to/mono -v
                    /path/to/xbuild.exe proj.proj. Same thing happens
                    every time:

                    /bld/pash/Pash-Project-Pash-bc07215 $ xbuild Pash.proj
                    XBuild Engine Version 12.0

                    Please help...this is driving me crazy.
