NuGet apparently has some logic to determine what MSBuild Executable to use. Is there a way to override this behavior? Or at least a way to tell it to use the x86 MSBuild instead of x64?
MSBuild auto-detection: using msbuild version '14.0' from 'C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin\amd64'.
From the command-line documentation, you can specify -MSBuildPath or -MSBuildVersion on the command line.
MSBuildPath(4.0+) Specifies the path of MSBuild to use with the command, taking precedence over -MSBuildVersion.
MSBuildVersion(3.2+) Specifies the version of MSBuild to be used with this command. Supported values are 4, 12, 14, 15. By default the MSBuild in your path is picked, otherwise it defaults to the highest installed version of MSBuild.
The msbuild version used by nuget command line on mono is hard coded:
The offending method is GetMsBuildFromMonoPaths(...)
There is no env var to override it. It's called "auto detection" lol.
A solution is to move away the /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/6.12.0/lib/mono/msbuild/15.0 folder, install msbuild 16.0 using dotnet-install.sh method (use version 5.0.402 for msbuild 16), and create a symbolic link from dotnet/sdk/$netcoreversion to the hard coded path /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/6.12.0/lib/mono/msbuild/15.0
