22 That's the standard build system for .NET projects. You'll probably
23 need Microsoft's .NET implementation [1] to get it working. I have
24 ebuilds for an early version [2] but back then you couldn't even build
25 the corefx (.NET's standard library) on Linux so it's not much use. I
26 will update them when I get time.
