I have a .nuspec file for my project, which references a third-party DLL that the project including my package needs to reference.
<?xml version="1.0"?><package ><metadata><id>$id$</id><version>$version$</version><title>$title$</title><authors>$author$</authors><owners>$author$</owners><requireLicenseAcceptance>false</requireLicenseAcceptance><description>$description$</description><releaseNotes>Locked against log4net 1.2 - less than 1.2.11 which has breaking changes</releaseNotes><copyright>Copyright 2012 blah blah</copyright><dependencies><dependency id="log4net" version="[1.2,1.2.11)" /><dependency id="My.Other.Project" /></dependencies><references><reference file="Third.Party.dll" /></references>If I try to run nuget.exe pack My.Project.csproj from the directory with the .csproj and the .nuspec file, I get
Invalid assembly reference 'Third.Party.dll'. Ensure that a file named 'Third.Party.dll' exists in the lib directory.
I have created.\lib.\bin\Debug\lib.\obj\lib
and the file is in all three places. Where does it REALLY want the lib folder?
