Framework DNX451 working in a Mac or Linux

Question

I have created my project using YeoMan. In my project.json I have these frameworks:

"frameworks": {
    "dnx451": { },
    "dnxcore50": {
        "dependencies": {
            "System.Runtime.Serialization.Primitives": "4.0.10-*"
        }
    }
}

If I do a "dnu build" I get a lot of errors, but if I remove "dnx451" all works fine.

I have read a lot of question about what is "dnx451" and what is "dnxcore50", but my question is...

Can I use dnx451 and dnxcore50 frameworks toguether in a Linux or Mac? In positive case, How can I install the dnx451?

Thanks!!

Since you are using System.Runtime.Serialization.Primitives under dnxcore50, you also need to tell dnx451 to pull in the System.Runtime and System.Runtime.Serialization libraries as framework assemblies.

"dnx451": {
  "frameworkAssemblies": {
    "System.Runtime": "",
    "System.Runtime.Serialization": ""
  }
}

Depending on which classes you're using, you might have to pull in System.Xml as well (or any other libraries it complains about when you dnu build)
