Building

• Linux/macOS: Run build.sh
• Windows: Run build.cmd

(Note: both scripts above use the dotnet command underneath; if you need to build with .NETFramework v4.x or Mono, rename the '.paket_netfx' to '.paket' first, before restoring & building manually with paket and msbuild.)

Known issues

• Database vendors other than SQL Server and Access use dynamic assembly loading. This may cause some security problems depending on your system's configuration and which version of the .NET framework you are using. If you encounter problems loading dynamic assemblies, they can likely be resolved by applying the following element into the configuration files of fsi.exe, devenv.exe and your program or the program using your library: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd409252(VS.100).aspx
