Re: [Mono-list] Developing MONO

[Erik LeBel]

Acctually, with WinXP it can be done.

I've tried mono on windows and linux, but use it mostly on windows XP. Without Cygwin or .NET i can develop in mono, and using some simple scripts generate make files for the core class libraries.

I'm still working on getting the debugger compiled and running on windows (though Im sure this is easier if you have Cygwin) because i dont have automake tools.

Some components work better on linux:

using the ASP.NET components requires some patches: some directives are hard compiled to look for config files in locations that dont exist, and the mcs.exe which requires running through mono.exe cannot be executed natively. References to mcs need to be remapped to the mcs.bat provided by the install.

Just out of interest, how many people use Unix / Linux for writing / contributing to  MONO and how many people use Windows?

 

I wouldn't mind helping but I'm running WinXP, am I going to find it difficult?
