Description

When trying to compile a 3.5 Library/Exe on a system where CF 3.5 is not installed, the following error occurs:

error CS0006: Metadata file 'C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.C
ompactFramework.Build.Tasks.dll' could not be found

Here is the full build log:

A quick look into DefaultCompiler.java, shows why:

DefaultCompiler.java

       if ( compilerContext.getCompilerRequirement().getVendor().equals( Vendor.MICROSOFT ) &&
           compilerContext.getCompilerRequirement().getFrameworkVersion().equals( "3.5" ) )
       {
           String wcfRef = "/reference:" + System.getenv( "SystemRoot" ) +
               "\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v3.5\\";
           //TODO: This is a hard-coded path: Don't have a registry value either.
           commands.add( wcfRef + "Microsoft.Build.Tasks.v3.5.dll" );
           commands.add( wcfRef + "Microsoft.CompactFramework.Build.Tasks.dll" );
           commands.add( wcfRef + "Microsoft.Data.Entity.Build.Tasks.dll" );
           commands.add( wcfRef + "Microsoft.VisualC.STLCLR.dll" );
       }
