Compile Plugins on Linux

[domenic 33]

Hi, I am new to the community and this is my first attempt at updating a plugin.  I don't have access to a Windows Build Environment and am attempting to do this on Debian Jessie. 

 

I have pulled down the Emby source code using standard Debian tools (apt-get source and build dependencies) and am able to successfully build from Source using the MediaBrowser.Mono.Build.sh script.  Before attempting anything too difficult, I have cloned the Emby.Plugins Repository and wanted to attempt to build one of the plugins.  There is not much documentation outside of the URL provided in the README.md https://github.com/MediaBrowser/MediaBrowser/wiki/How-to-build-a-Server-Plugin and the suggestion that the source code needs to be in a  folder called 'MediaBrowser' and it is 'side by side'  The URL is GUI centric so it does not help out much.

 

The folder structure is a follows:

 

/usr/src/Emby.Plugins

/usr/src/emby-server-3.0.7200

/usr/src/Media.Browser is a softlink to emby-server-3.0.7200 (which I believe is 'side by side'?)

 

I decided to attempt to compile the OneDrive plugin it appears simple enough, but fails first on Case Sensitivity (I can not believe this one!) then fails when attempting to resolve a package. 

 

I resolved the "Can not find ../.nuget/nuget.exe" by copying NuGet.exe to nuget.exe (ugh!)

below is the result of xbuild for failed packages:

Any direction would be appreciated.
