Feature request: MSBuild, Fsharp, .NET Core

[ijean]

Hello, thanks for adding Mono to the Chromebrew packages!

Please add, if possible, MSBuild and F#. I've tried to build myself F# using the provided Mono package, but it seems to have a hard dependency on MSBuild (which I've also tried to build without success).

Your sister project on macOS, Homebrew, builds F# into Mono, see https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/mono.rb.

Thanks for all your hard work. Jean

This is more based on Linuxbrew than Homebrew. Don't try to compare us to them, though. These projects have gone their separate ways. Try building GCC with only the fortran target.

@JL2210 Thanks, noted about Linuxbrew and Chromebrew.

What has GCC and Fortran to do with with building MSBuild and F# ?

Would dotnet core work?

[JL2210]

No. If you're talking about the proprietary implementation by Microsoft, then we can't package that.

[codekrafter]

I am not talking about packaging it, but they could download binaries from the Microsoft site. It is also not propriety, it is open source. https://github.com/dotnet/core

.NET Core is MIT licensed. Working on a package for this now.
