Hi,
just cloned the new runtime repo and tried building by running build.cmd in PS. But I got the error below. Where can I find instructions on how to build it? Could not find a link to any instructions in the readme.
Second, is it still necessary to run build.cmd before using one of the sln files to build a specific library?

Checkout https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/tree/master/docs/workflow. This is linked in the README, under "How can I contribute?"

Workflow Instructions explains how to build and test

Second, is it still necessary to run build.cmd before using one of the sln files to build a specific library?

For any sln files under the src\libraries folder, yes you need to build.cmd first. See https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/master/docs/workflow/building/libraries/README.md.

Thanks, but instruction seems to say the same, run build.cmd (with some parameters if defaults not ok). But whatever I try I get the same error. Tried master and preview5 tag. I have preview5 SDK installed, VS2019 preview. Are there any prerequisites that are not listed to enable build.cmd to run?

@maloo I'm not sure I understand the problem. It sounds like you have a minimal repro that fails on a Swedish machine--can you share that?

@rainersigwald Just an educated guess. But I think it should be enough to clone runtime repo and build using Swedish (sv-se) regional settings. I did this on a brand new machine too, English Win10, but Swedish regional settings. All details are in these discussions.

Not immediately obvious where the issue is, MSBuild parses numbers into strings here
https://github.com/microsoft/msbuild/blob/e70a3159d64f9ed6ec3b60253ef863fa883a99b1/src/Shared/ConversionUtilities.cs#L99
return Double.Parse(number, NumberStyles.AllowDecimalPoint | NumberStyles.AllowLeadingSign, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.NumberFormat);

I can repro. I"ll open an issue.

Also tried a clean ~/.nuget to force update of all nugets. How can I check what msbuild get used? I have seen wrong versions being picked up as default sometimes. I have no msbuild in PATH.

I found some references to VSTA 14 and msbuild 14.0 on my machine and there is a msbuild 14 installed under Program files. I think this could be related to SQL server management tools. How can I find out what version/path of msbuild gets called by build.ps1? msbuild is not in the path when I start the build ...
When I run msbuild 14 in the runtime root folder it complains on the format of build.proj. When I run msbuild 15.1 (VS 2019 preview) it starts building everything, and so far no error. So maybe my feeling was right that an old/bad msbuild was picked up somehow.

no, removed all existing msbuilds in system, must be something else
