I've just installed Rider for educational purposes. I'm going to develop on .NET Framework for Windows on Mac. Created a basic project. I'm trying to build an exe, but it building only dll and Mac binary. What I'm doing wrong? Thank you in advance!

    Maybe there is another problem. Could you please try building your exe from command line? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44074121/build-net-core-console-application-to-output-an-exe – Ozan BAYRAM Jun 15 '23 at 09:40
  • If I use the "publish" command, it builds dll+exe, and exe cannot run without dll :( – MegaBomber Jun 15 '23 at 09:52

    I did not catch what is your point? Do you want to create single exe file without dll? If "yes" this may help https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41153226/how-to-create-a-dotnet-core-single-executable – Ozan BAYRAM Jun 15 '23 at 10:01
  • Could you tell me one more thing? Can I build for .NET Framework on Mac? As I understand it, if I want to build on *nix, I need Core, but not all users have it. Maybe with Docker? I see only one variant - a virtual machine. – MegaBomber Jun 15 '23 at 10:32

    AFAIK, You just need to have specific .net version installed on that platform. So your console app can run on that platform. So IMHO if you can run "dotnet run" command on the platform it is all yours. – Ozan BAYRAM Jun 15 '23 at 10:50

  • no problem! thanks anyway! I just wanted one more question... Is somewhere statistic about .NET versions usage? I want to know from which .NET I should start to run on 10/11 win without additional movements from users... I've checked out a version on my win10 that I installed from the original MS image. I have 4.0. But development on 4.0 it's a pain... – MegaBomber Jun 16 '23 at 10:15
  • I do not have any statistics but latest is 7 and recommended, It will be better as early as possible to move newer ones to not have bigger problems. – Ozan BAYRAM Jun 16 '23 at 12:47
