Cannot build

[aphilpotts]

I pulled the source (master), and tried a rebuild, no joy, I expect I need to tweak something, at least to point to the version of Chakra I already built, I notice there are no System references in the Microsoft.Scripting project, should I be adding them by hand?

Here is a sampling of the errors I get

Can you tell me what version of Visual Studio you're using?

@aphilpotts Is there any chance you're seeing this issue? https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/5140#issuecomment-174720390

Odd, that issue just went away after restarting visual studio, for the record I am using VS2015, I do see a much more specific error now, in JavaScriptconverter.cs line 255 it does not like IsValueType

        else if (t.IsValueType) 
        {
           ...
       }

Severity Code Description Project File Line Source Suppression State
Error CS1061 'Type' does not contain a definition for 'IsValueType' and no extension method 'IsValueType' accepting a first argument of type 'Type' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) Microsoft.Scripting C:\Users\aphilpotts\Source\Repos\jsrt-dotnet\src\Microsoft.Scripting\JavaScript\JavaScriptConverter.cs 255 IntelliSense Active

I changed it to:

        else if (!t.IsByRef) 

Now I can build
