Just a quick question. The Mono documentation at http://mono-project.com/MySQL says:
"... the 1.0.7 release of MysQL Connector/Net ... works on Mono on Windows and Linux"
I notice in the download (the one without the installer, which is therefore suitable for Linux), that there are several different versions of the DLL (.NET 1.0, .NET 1.1, .NET 2.0, Mono 1.0). Presumably I'm correct in thinking that it is the one in the MySQL/connectornet/bin/mono-1.0/release directory that should be installed in the GAC on Linux. The Windows download had an installer, so I didn't notice any different versions, and there is only one version in the Windows GAC (Well, there are two actually, but they are just slightly different version numbers, not different versions for .NET/Mono).
Now, I'm developing some code that I want to be able to run under both .NET on Windows and Mono on Linux. I'll be doing the development on Windows and then installing the binaries created on Windows onto a Linux box. Should that run OK? Or will I have to cross-compile? If so, is there anything I could do to avoid that (like installing the version I have in the Windows GAC into the Mono GAC on Linux??)
What is behind this is that I'm doing some experiments to evaluate the portability of CLI code (amongst other things). If I had to do it, this would be the first time I'd had to cross-compile at all.
The reason I'm asking now - before I've hit any problems - is because I'd like to know that if I do hit problems it's not because the code shouldn't run without cross-compiling.
Thanks in advance. Peter _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
