I got it working on the really old SDL.NET package that had Make/Build support for Mono, I needed to put up the SDL-Dev libs too !! arggh!!! :(
But still, i'd love to be able to get a recent (this year) build for SDL.NET working, as it looks really different (the new one) then the older one. Also if anyone could write a small, or "point to" a resource talking to the: "How you write a wrapper in C#/Mono/Linux to wrap a standard library in linux" that would be appreciated. and if someone could build the latest SDL.NET and post it somewhere that would be very much appreciated as well. -tl On Thu, Jul 21, 2005 at 03:36:48PM +1200, David Mitchell wrote: > Try this: > > http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cs-sdl/SdlDotNet-3.1.2-1.zip?download > > Looks like the latest linux version to me. > > David > > ted leslie wrote: > >(After my preamble, I am essentially asking .. how does a wrapper to > >.Net/Mono work .....) > > > >There must not be to many people writting cross platform apps > >that need sound?
