Forgot once again mono doest have a default reply to the list for some reason.
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Justin Dearing <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Jul 14, 2009 at 6:05 PM Subject: Re: [Mono-list] Fwd: Game development with mono To: Chris Howie <[email protected]> Chris, If there is no difference, why do many OSS projects offer different binaries? I understand the format of the bytecode is different, but might there be differences in function signatures in the System.foo assemblies if mono functions had different signatures from the .NET equivilant? Also, doesn't the mono compiler and runtime have a different GAC. Wouldn't compiling against the mono compiler ensure that all the methods in the standard assemblies exist in the mono version?
