How do I build a native binary on .NET Core using the current preview?
Using the current .NET Core preview, how do I compile (Publish ?) a native binary for a console application. I am on Mac OS 10.11. I did the following: dotnet new dotnet restore dotnet publish I kind of expected "publish" to build a native binary for me, but it did not. It places a .dll, along with some JSON, in the publish folder ? I should mention the application runs fine when using dotnet run . So, how do I get a native binary for my simple console application ? According to an MS dev on the Slack channel, native compilation was removed/disabled in RC2 since it wasn't deemed ready yet.
