The Rake files were deleted because they were hard to maintain and redundant.

You can certainly build without VS, this has always been the case. All you need is msbuild or xbuild for the solution files, in the past there have been Rake files as part of the repo from very early on.. but they seem to have disappeared.. anyone know what happened? I'm taking a look now on building under mono on linux, it's something me and Ivan were working on earlier in the year and this seems like a good time to revisit. -- Michael Letterle IronRuby MVP http://blog.prokrams.com _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core _______________________________________________ Ironruby-core mailing list Ironruby-core@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ironruby-core
