dotnet publish -r only works for win10-x64

For web and mvc projects, dotnet publish -r only works for win10-x64.

For osx-x64 or linux-arm for example, you get a hostpolicy.dll not found error.

*Does this mean we can’t build and publish for OTHER machines (not the local machine)?

dotnet publish -o "C:\TempPublish\site_win" -c Release
dotnet publish -o "C:\TempPublish\site" -c Release -r debian-x64 /p:MvcRazorCompileOnPublish=false

copy c:\TempPublish\site_win\App.PrecompiledViews.dll c:\TempPublish\site\

Interesting… I tried $env:MvcRazorCompileOnPublish="False" and could not make it work but /p:MvcRazorCompileOnPublish=false did the trick.
