Is there a way to create a standalone binary using mono? I can do this in Microsoft .NET using a tool called ilmerge. It would be nice to have an equivalent for Mac and Linux
I am currently releasing a set of open source tools for code development. They are a set of code synthesizers that will generate code for a variety of tasks. This type of tool is usually run from a command line entry or a makefile. I have written a tool that automatically packages the tools to run from Mono instead of Microsoft.Net and they will spit out the script files for Mac and Linux. But running them obviously requires the end user to download and install the necessary runtime. It would be much nicer if there was some way to package up the tool and the libraries and the executable into a single file that could be distributed and run without the need for any systems configuration at all. The probability that two instances of the same tool are running in parallel are very small so shared libraries really don't give any leverage. But the admin pain they introduce is significant.
