Environment

• Pythonnet version: PR Initial coreclr and build tooling #612
• Python version: 3.6.7
• Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04

Details

I was trying to test PR #612 for our use case (calling functionality implemented in .NET Standard 2.0 DLLs from Python 3.x). We currently manage to do this on Linux by using Mono and Pythonnet, but we are trying to avoid the dependency on Mono going forward.

Here I have included the dockerfile used to setup the required environment (Ubuntu 18.04 docker image, with .NET Core SDK, Python 3.6.7 and a clone of PR #612) so that one can reproduce what I'm seeing.

Subsequently, after starting the docker image, run:

cd pythonnet
python3 setup.py bdist_wheel --xplat

Subsequently, install the wheel that has been generated in the dist folder.
The error I get after this is:

>>>import clr
Failed to convert CLR files path to absolute path
Traceback (most recent call shown last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: Unable to find clr path
