I have a WPF C# application hosted on GitHub attached to Travis. I configured my .travis-ci.yml this way:
language: csharp
solution: FaceDetection/FaceDetection.sln
script:
- xbuild /p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform=x86 /p:TargetFrameworkVersion="v4.0" FaceDetection/FaceDetection.sln
However I get these errors when the project is about to compile by travis:
/usr/lib/mono/4.5/Microsoft.Common.targets: warning : Reference 'PresentationCore' not resolved
/usr/lib/mono/4.5/Microsoft.Common.targets: warning : Reference 'PresentationFramework' not resolved
Compiling the project locally on my windows machine in VS works fine. Therefore I included all needed references for the project.
This happens to some more references too:
Views/Converters/BitmapConverter.cs(5,28): error CS0234: The type or namespace name `Imaging' does not exist in the namespace `System.Windows.Media'. Are you missing an assembly reference?
Views/UserControls/FaceDatabaseEntry.xaml.cs(7,22): error CS0234: The type or namespace name `Controls' does not exist in the namespace `System.Windows'. Are you missing an assembly reference?

The needed packages are restored fine before it is about to compile:

Basically, WPF isn't supported by Mono (or .NET running on any platform other than Windows).
You'll need to find a Windows-based CI service such as AppVeyor instead.
