Thank you. If I read that correctly, the last line runs your artifact - is that for CI or something? (I'd expect the purpose was to just create the artifact?)

Ed: then again, your artifact is a build tool - does that build distribution packages?

Yes, the last line is for CI. It just runs the tool as a simple check that it built correctly. Cross-compilation does not work with Core RT anyway, so we can assume that you are always building for the host platform.

Huh? I was sure I tested that after an announcement in... November? But it's supposed to have been supported a while longer? Eg: https://www.hanselman.com/blog/SelfcontainedNETCoreApplicati...

Perhaps a warp limitation?

I tried Linux host compiling to Windows and it did not work. Perhaps I need to update.
I remember I had a big fight with dot.net a year or two back, and gave up - but last time I checked the only thing I found missing was a bundler (like warp). And somewhat inconsistent/unclear documentation on how to make a stand alone build. But I did eventually manage to build "Hello, world!" on Linux and run it on windows as a proof of concept.
