This may be a silly question.
Forgive me if it is.
If your concern is to get going with application
development, why bother with the source downloads? I’ve used Red
Carpet to download the binaries since 1.0.something and have absolutely no
problem keeping everything up-to-date and working just fine. Of course,
if by development you mean developing Mono itself, then I understand.
For the record, I do all my development in
Visual Studio and just copy the necessary files for installing on both Windows
and Linux.
Deployment is a bit more complicated for
remoting – but not very.
Cheers
Peter

Thanks for the quick reply (and apologies to anyone who has had multiple copies
of the original by email as I edited minor details in my initial posting).
I started at the download page "download/fedora-4-i386/" you mention,
but took the easy option of "put the mono.repo file in ..." and used
yum to install. That could explain why I did not get everything the repo file
refers only to mono-1.1, gtk-sharp 1.0 and 2.0 and mono-tools +
mono-deps.
The sources (mono-1.1.13.2-source.tar.gz) were downloaded this morning from the
URL you mention - the file is 18,043,178 bytes. I don't understand why we have
a difference; I used WinZip to unzip / untar it to a Windows folder on XP
(sorry about the lack of taste!) and the only reference to "Form" is
in the words "platform" and a single WinForms text file in .\web
which tells you how to compile Managed.Windows.Forms from the sources - the
file is dated 17th Sept 2004
My reference to the WinForm Wiki not being updated is an error (it was late
last night when I was browsing!) From http://www.mono-project.com/Gui_Toolkits#Windows.Forms
goto http://svn.myrealbox.com/blog/
- The box on the left "Progress" all refers to early 2005, Archives
stop in Jan 2005 and clicking on Last Comments brings up a thread which starts
in Jan 2005 though it has been bumped up by a null posting in Jan 2006.
http://www.mono-project.com/FAQ:_Winforms
says
"Do you have an estimate for when Windows.Forms will be released?
The plan currently is aimed at Q2/2005. "
Putting it all together, I wrongly deduced that everything had come to a halt
in Feb 2005 for some obscure political unstated reason and nothing was being
updated. I am pleased to hear that I was wrong and it's just my problem of a
steep learning curves in an unfamiliar environment and at an increasing age,
plus of course the need for developers to develop rather than just to talk
about it.
Thanks again Peter for putting me right; I will have another go at getting the
right things installed.

Jim,
I'm sorry to hear you're having such a bad start trying out winforms.
It would be useful if you told us what exactly you downloaded, and where
from.
You refer to looking for SWF support in the Mono core, if you check this
list: http://www.go-mono.com/download/fedora-4-i386/
you'll see that
mono-winforms is a separate package from mono-core.
Just for giggles, I downloaded the sources for 1.1.13.2 from here:
http://go-mono.com/sources/
and checked, and the tarball does indeed contain
a mono-1.1.13.2/mcs/class/Managed.Windows.Forms path and all it's files and
subdirs.
Not sure where you're getting your dates from or where or what the WinForm
wiki is, could you provide the URLs?
Cheers,
Peter
