I'm trying to get Jenkins to build a Xamarin.iOS / MonoTouch project, and I've created some different configurations in my solution & project files to control how things are built from one environment to the next.
When I build from within Xamarin Studio, things seem to work as expected. However, when I build from the command line, the StartUp project isn't being built with the correct configuration.
I've tried a couple of different commands, but I think the command I need is:
/Applications/Xamarin\ Studio.app/Contents/MacOS/mdtool build -t:Build -c:MySoftwareStaging Solution.sln
This solution has 3 projects. I'll start with the solution file.

And here is a chunk of the mdtool output from the aforementioned command:

Any ideas about why this might be happening? When I run it in Xamarin Studio, everything works as it should. It's only from the command line that I'm seeing odd behavior.
UPDATE: Based on the answer from @jonathanpeppers I did some additional testing. I cleaned the solution (using --target:Clean), and then I tried building each project independently using the --project:Myproject flag to mdtool. For the first 2 projects ("MySoftware.Core.MT" & "MySoftware.Presentation") I used --configuration:Release. They built, but the dlls were placed in /bin/Debug and not Release. When I attempted to finally build "MySoftwareMT" using --configuration:Staging, the build fails because it can't find the DLLs for the other projects. I'm seriously confused about what is happening here.
It doesn't look like you are telling mdtool which configuration to build. I don't think mdtool uses the startup project, it probably just picks the first configuration.
Can you try using "--configuration:Release|iPhone"? example here.
