Part of answer for http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/364580/scripting-works-in-editor-try-it-but-not-build.html?sort=oldest A modified version of https://github.com/mosa/Mono-Class-Libraries/blob/master/mcs/class/System/Microsoft.CSharp/CSharpCodeCompiler.cs for UnityEngine, i just changed the mono and mcs paths to suit my needs. Also i found…

Thanks for posting this, saved me a lot of time figuring out what process options/args I'd need to invoke the mono compiler.

Thank you very much! It is work good!
