Building C# console project from Linux terminal using Mono

Question

I have Mono Develop installed on my Ubuntu machine. How could I build my C# console project from terminal. My objective is to write a Makefile.

I wish to find out the equivalent of:

msbuild MyProject.csproj /p:OutputPath=%~dp0

You can use xbuild to build sln or csproj files. xbuild is bundled with a standard mono install.

You can call dmcs, which is the .NET 4 Mono compiler, directly. For details, see the CSharp Compiler page.
