So that is good.\r\n\r\nSteps to reproduce\r\n------------------\r\n1. Make sure you're running WSL Xenial 16.04.\r\n2. Install PowerShell Core for Ubuntu 16.04 in WSL\r\n3. Start PowerShell Core in WSL\r\n4. Cd to your Windows clone dir e.g. `cd /mnt/c/GitHub/PowerShell`\r\n5. ipmo ./build.psm1\r\n6. Start-PSBootstrap\r\n7. Start-PSBuild\r\n\r\nBTW this is a darn convenient way to build/test for both Windows and Linux.  No need to push your changes to origin so you can pull them to Linux to test.\r\n\r\nExpected behavior\r\n-----------------\r\npwsh builds - no errors.\r\n\r\n\r\nActual behavior\r\n---------------\r\nGet an error:\r\n```none\r\nPowerShell output: /mnt/c/Users/Keith/GitHub/rkeithhill/PowerShell/src/powershell-unix/bin/Linux/netcoreapp2.0/linux-x64/publish/pwsh\r\nCopy-Item : Cannot find path 'C:/Program\r\nFiles/dotnet/sdk/NuGetFallbackFolder/microsoft.netcore.app/2.0.0/ref/netcoreapp2.0/Microsoft.CSharp.dll' because it\r\ndoes not exist.\r\nAt /mnt/c/Users/Keith/GitHub/rkeithhill/PowerShell/build.psm1:528 char:9\r\n+         Copy-Item -Path $refAssemblies -Destination $refDestFolder -F ...\r\n+         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\r\n    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (C:/Program File...soft.CSharp.dll:String) [Copy-Item], ItemNotFoundExce\r\n   ption\r\n    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.CopyItemCommand\r\n```\r\nSure enough, the powershell.inc file includes a whole bunch of paths that start with `C:\\`.\r\n\r\nEnvironment data\r\n----------------\r\n\r\n\u003c!-- provide the output of $PSVersionTable --\u003e\r\n\r\n```powershell\r\n\u003e $PSVersionTable\r\nName                           Value\r\n----                           -----\r\nPSVersion                      6.0.0-beta.8\r\nPSEdition                      Core\r\nGitCommitId                    v6.0.0-beta.8\r\nOS                             Linux 4.4.0-43-Microsoft #1-Microsoft Wed Dec 31 14:42:53 PST 2014\r\nPlatform                       Unix\r\nPSCompatibleVersions           {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0...}\r\nPSRemotingProtocolVersion      2.3\r\nSerializationVersion           1.1.0.1\r\nWSManStackVersion              3.0\r\n```\r\n\r\nBTW the root of the problem is that TypeGen dir - `$PSScriptRoot/src/TypeCatalogGen` - is not platform specific.  It probably should be `$PSScriptRoot/src/TypeCatalogGen/$Runtime`.  Easiest work-around for now is `Start-PSBuild -Clean`.\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/rkeithhill","@type":"Person","name":"rkeithhill"},"datePublished":"2017-10-21T22:14:43.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/5194/PowerShell/issues/5194"}
