Description:
An error occurs when building the Connector/NET from source code checked out from the public SVN repository on Linux using Mono and Nant.

Mono JIT compiler version is 1.2.6.0
Nant version is 0.85

When attempting to build (for example) the C/NET 5.2 branch from source code checked from SVN using the command:

$ nant -buildfile:Client.build

The following error occurs:

BUILD FAILED

Error loading buildfile.
Encoding name 'Windows-1252' not supported.
Parameter name: name

How to repeat:
1. Checkout source code from public SVN repository:

svn co http://svn.mysql.com/svnpublic/connector-net connector-net

2. Attempt to build the Connector:

$ nant -buildfile:Client.build

Hi Tony.

As we discussed on IRC, this could be a bug in encoding:
  "Encoding name 'Windows-1252' not supported."

I will set this to verified and see what Reggie has to say. We do miss building instructions for Linux and he might help with his comments.

Using the source tarball for Connector/NET 5.2.5 from the web site. 

The source layout has changed, but Client.build has not been updated to reflect the new layout. That's why it won't build. The VS2005 project is also broken for the same reason.

I'm using mono built from the latest tarball source releases. With some tweaking and code changes monodevelop will build MySQLClient.sln. Haven't tried running the test yet.

HTH.

Tony, please proceed with testing as described in Bug#33938 and see if it helps.

It helps. At least it breaks differently now :)

I get:

Property evaluation failed.
Expression: ${nunit2.dir}
Property nunit2.dir has not been set.

But it seems to have solved the 1252 problem!

Still verified then but more likely problem is what Patrick reported. Thanks.
