Mono MSC C# 编译器如何添加程序集引用

Question

So im trying to run a .NET C# script in mono, but i get errors of missing assemblies...

C:\Users\user\Documents\GitHub\callCsharp-fromCPP\CMonoTest\Mp3ToSpeech.cs(1,14): error CS0234: The type or namespace name `Speech' does not exist in the namespace `System'. Are you missing an assembly reference?
C:\Users\user\Documents\GitHub\callCsharp-fromCPP\CMonoTest\Mp3ToSpeech.cs(6,7): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `NAudio' could not be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?
C:\Users\user\Documents\GitHub\callCsharp-fromCPP\CMonoTest\SeleniumWebdriver.cs(1,7): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `OpenQA' could not be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?

Im trying to reference assemblies using -r: , using full path where they are located, but it doesnt work and i still get errors.

1. I Tried using msbuild, to build.csproj with instead of msc (see my other question Embedding mono in C++, Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime' or one of its dependencies ) but it cant call the static method

So my question is how can i reference the assemblies. Is there a easy way to do that in mono if you are using nuget? I saw on the docs that you can call packages using -pkg: if they have a.pc file (which none of.nuget have)

Answer 1

For those who have also problems with this, my problem was that

std::string references = R"(-r:C:\Users\user\.nuget\packages\dotnetseleniumextras.waithelpers\3.11.0\lib\net45\SeleniumExtras.WaitHelpers.dll
    -r:C:\Users\user\.nuget\packages\naudio\2.1.0\lib\net6.0\NAudio.dll -r:C:\Users\user\.nuget\packages\selenium.support\4.4.0\lib\net5.0\WebDriver.Support.dll
    -r:C:\Users\user\.nuget\packages\selenium.webdriver\4.4.0\lib\net5.0\WebDriver.dll -r:C:\Users\user\.nuget\packages\system.speech\6.0.0\lib\net6.0\System.Speech.dll)";

wasnt respecting this format

msc -r:"reference\to\assembly.dll"

it should be in quotes even if the path doesnt have any spaces.
This is a problem only when you want to use full path, as

msc -r:System.Assembly.dll 

works fine!
