Reference shared project in multiple solutions

I have a solution AddLog which has only one project AddLogClient of type shared project. I created it by right clicking on solution name->Add->Shared Project.

enter image description here

I want to use this shared project in other solutions. When I go to another solution MyApplication and want to add a reference to AddLogClient, I can't see it in the list of shared projects, because it is not located in the same solution. When I try to browse for it, it expects a file in .exe, .dll, .tlb, .olb, .olx or .winmd format. Adding .dll file (from bin folder from AddLogClient) would not be acceptable because every developer has different repository checkout location and we can't use relative paths.

enter image description here

How can I reference shared project from other solutions? Both solutions are under SVN.

The standard way of doing so, as @Sokopa suggested is through NuGet. For dev purposes, if you do not want to publish packages to Nuget servers, you can check the Generate Nuget Package on Build option and upon build it will create a nuget package in your build folder.

check this guide from microsoft docs
