When building the same project on Windows there are no compilation errors.

The dotnet version on both machines is 1.0.0-rc4-004771. The project is build using the dotnet build command in both environments.

Answer 1

The problem was with the directory structure. Make sure any external projects are added to the src directory. Alternatively, you could add the external project as a NuGet dependency.
