OpenRA
how can i use dotnet core 3.1 to make all?
When I tried to make all.
It seems I can't do that, it break out error:
C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\3.1.101\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(1175,5): error MSB3644:cant' find .NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1 ........

Sorry, I don't think you can. The engine still requires the .NET framework and doesn't yet run under .NET core.
You will need to install the .NET 4.6.1 developer pack from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/net461.
@Rinimabi can you confirm whether installing the developer pack fixed the problem?
@pchote thanks for answer.sorry,I can't use my personal computer lately. I will confirm that soon or later.
What about Linux? .NET framework is not available for it. How linux appimages are build then?
Ok. there are some problems with mono. xbuild in mono is depticated and it's not working with openra project.
to use msbuild I had to add dotnet prefix to MSBUILD variable in two Makefiles (project root and engine directory):
MSBUILD = dotnet msbuild -verbosity:m -nologo
And then tell msbuild where is mono. So to every .csproj file added in PropertyGroup line:
<FrameworkPathOverride Condition="'$(TargetFramework)' == 'net461'">/usr/lib/mono/4.6.1-api</FrameworkPathOverride>
I don't know is the condition needed. Solution taken from https://andrewlock.net/building-net-framework-asp-net-core-apps-on-linux-using-mono-and-the-net-cli/
msbuild has been a core part of mono since its 5.0 release (OpenRA requires 5.4 at a minimum). Some distros still aren't packaging it, but there is not much we can do about that other than recommending users on those distros to use the packages from https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/#download-lin.
