 The CoreFX build and test suite is a work in progress, as are the [building and testing instructions](README.md). The .NET Core team and the community are improving Linux and OS X support on a daily basis are and adding more tests for all platforms. See [CoreFX Issues](https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues) to find out about specific work items or report issues.

 CoreFx can be built on top of current [Mono CI builds](#installing-mono-packages) or a direct [build/install of Mono](http://www.mono-project.com/docs/compiling-mono/). It builds using MSBuild and Roslyn and requires changes that have not yet made it to official released builds.

+Some third party dependencies may incorrectly assume that `bash` is always installed in `/bin/`. This can manifest itself in errors like `corefx/packages/dnx-mono.1.0.0-beta5-11760/bin/dnu: not found`. The simplest way to get around this until fixed upstream is simply making the assumption correct: `sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/bash /bin/bash`.
