Could not find Microsoft.DiaSymReader.Native.x86.dll

I'm trying to build a project in Rider using Mono and I can keep on getting this error:

Error CS0041: Unexpected error writing debug information -- 'Windows PDB writer is not available -- could not find Microsoft.DiaSymReader.Native.x86.dll'

Does anybody have any idea why I'm getting this error? I've tried searching for it online and all I could find was a previous SO question that never got answered: Monodevelop fails to build, can't find Microsoft.DiaSymReader.Native.x86.dll' I have no idea where to start. Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm, you are looking under the wrong rock. This is not a Mono error, it comes from CoreCLR. Jetbrains announced that they were planning on supporting it. How far along that got and exactly what version you have is all very unclear. Use the company's support channels to find assistance. – Hans Passant

Right, the library exists. but on Visual Studio, using NuGet link to nuget package it will add the reference and add the Microsoft.DiaSymReader.Native.(arch).dll into //debug, once you build it. So, you must find the way to get such .dll.

Once you have the .dll with the arch you need. Proceed to add as a external reference on Monodevelop see this the dll.

Begin to build.
