Visual Studio build successful, MSBuild fails

Question

I am trying to clean and rebuild a solution file with multiple projects from the command line using MSBUILD. For some reason my build fails (about 10% of the built projects fail

Answer 1

In my case I had one PCL referencing another PCL with different targets. Visual Studio showed me a warning in the references list of the first library, but compiled the solution, whereas MSBUILD refused to compile. I fixed the problem by retargeting the PCL. Hope this helps somebody.
