Is it time to give up trying to deploy an ASP.NET project

[Jamin2112]

on a Hackintosh to the Azure Cloud? I thought this might be a futile effort, and I've spent about 12 hours on it (It took me about 30 seconds to do using Visual Studio on my work PC haha). But damn, I'm so close.

What I'm doing is pushing my ASP.NET MVC project, which, right now, is the template generated for a single-page ASP.NET MVC project in Xamarin for Mac, to GitHub, and am setting up Continuous Deployment in Azure so that my site is re-published every time I commit and sync changes. The project can be seen https://github.com/jamkin/ClassicSnakeGame .

The Activity Log for the failed step in my deployment is

Command: "D:\home\site\deployments\tools\deploy.cmd"

I've read it. My internet research is exhausted at this point. I've tried every possible combination of messing with the configuration settings.

So, after changing the Imports to

<ImportProject="$(VSToolsPath)\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets"Condition="'$(VSToolsPath)' != ''"/><ImportProject="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets"Condition="true"/>

I'm getting the error

error MSB4057: The target "Build" does not exist in the project.

Hey, that's somewhat of an improvement -- getting a different error.

Success! I've never felt so happy.
