Wine is needed for effect file compilation. Monogame's shader system is an old relic of the XNA days, and only compiles on Windows. There has been some slow work on updating Monogame to use a more modern shader language and compiler, but that's likely still a ways off. Until then, the only way to compile the effect files on Linux and Mac is with wine. |
