I spent another 2 hours this morning trying to add a native dll to a nupkg file. I tried using a .targets file to update the target project to include the dll and set it to CopyIfNewer. There are confusing and conflicting and verbose discussions of this, but nothing I tried had any effect on the target project. Then I see there is this nuspec section:
<contentFile> <files include="..." buildAction="None" copyToOutput="true" /> </contentFiles> Again there are ambiguous and vague explanations of how this works, even the official nuspec page is not authoritative. There's more confusion about the folder structure for contentFiles and if it's needed or not. It's all blithering confusion. In any case, I've just tried dozens of combinations of files and folders, including trivial sanity checks, but absolutely nothing will get any contentFiles folder in the package. It's as if the <contentFiles> is completely ignored always. Has anyone successfully used the <contentFiles> entry to add files to a target project? I've now spent 5 hours on this. *Greg K*
