Hi
I am a linux user of a number of years and just started a course in C++
programming where they are using Visual Studio .Net as the IDE for learning
programming. I am running Debian on a PPC so I thought I might be able to use
it to get the c++ code that is writting in Visual Studio .Net to run on my
computer.
I have successfully installed mono from source and got it to compile and run
a couple of example c# programs, although I have to use the mint runtime
rather than mono which I found out is due to the PPC.
What I am wondering though is if it is possible to compile a c++ file rather
than a c# file? The problem with the c++ files written in Visual Studio .Net
is that they can't be compiled using g++.
An example of the program I am trying to get working is:
#using <mscorlib.dll>
using namespace System;
void main()
{
//double (double precision floating point)
double AUD;
double USD = 79.99;
//convert from US to AUS dollars
AUD = USD / 0.78;
//display the conversion
Console::Write( "US $77.99 = AUS " );
Console::WriteLine ( Convert::ToString( AUD ) );
//make the window stay open till we hit Enter
Console::Read();
}
Is it worth trying to run mono on x86 based chipset or is it just that when
you write c++ code in Visual Studio .Net you are stuck with running it on
Windows.
Thanks for your help.
