nixon: a simple script to build and test code in mono

build.sh

#!/bin/bash

NAME=`basename $(pwd)`

CORE=./bin/$NAME.dll
TEST=./bin/$NAME.specs.dll

find lib -name '*.dll' > refs
ref=`paste -sd, refs`
rm refs

dmcs ./src/*.cs -out:$CORE -target:library -r:$ref

#now build the tests
xunit=./tools/xunit-1/xunit.dll
dmcs ./tests/*.cs -out:$TEST -target:library -r:$ref,$CORE,$xunit


find ./lib/ -iname '*.dll' -exec cp \{\} bin/ \;
cp ./tools/xunit-1/xunit.dll ./bin

#now run the tests

mono ./tools/xunit-1/xunit.console.exe $TEST ./tools/xunit-1/xunit.console.exe.config /silent /html bob.html

I applaud your mad skillz.

Of course, if the folders is /tests/, why not just make the test binary basename.tests.dll instead.
