I've googled, but I don't find any info on C or C++ compilers that

that actually seems to work.
Is there a working C/C++ Compiler for Mono? (Other than MSFT VS)
Do you need something that will compile C and C++ or just C? Are you looking
something with capabilities like MS's compiler that can interface with both
existing C++ libs and C# code and has IJW ("it just works") marshaling?
C++ is probably needed.
Being able to hook up with both C++ libs and C# assemblies would be good!
As far as marshaling goes, I don't know yet. It depends on what
direction my project goes. (It just works is 'USUALLY' a good thing
anyway 8] )
Not strictly mono, but also open source project implementing the .Net
runtime and tools, Portable.Net has a C compiler they claim works:
http://www.dotgnu.org/pnet.html
I haven't ever used it personally nor looked at it, but it probably works
fine when compiling C to IL. It won't run under mono, though - you need the
pnet runtime.
The assemblies produced by the Portable.NET C compiler will run under Mono
once you install the OpenSystem.C.dll and libc.dll assemblies.
Cool. I have some other code that depends on Mono and I don't really
want to mess with multiple environments. If I can gacutil these dlls
into mono, that would be great.
I need to double check their license to make sure it is compatible, but
I'm almost certain that they are GPL'd. If so, that will work.
Thanks again for the information.
