Using csc.exe to recursively find .cs files doesn't seem to work

Question

I have the following CSC command:

$ csc -out:dist/program.exe src/program/*.cs -recurse:*.cs

This gives me the following error: no matches found: -recurse:*.cs

Does anyone have any idea why the -recurse option is not recognised/working properly in this case?

Answer 1

As commented by Caramiriel using ZSH handles the wildcards instead of giving them to csc.exe and because it doesn't find any files that match it the error no matches found: <pattern> is thrown.
