Just for the record: we already have perl scripts in the build system, as well in gtk-sharp, for example.

Hey, if the conversion tool is made with C#, you need to compile the runtime first but, when is this tool needed? I suppose it is only for the VB part. Why not compiling all the C# stuff, compile this tool, and then all the VB part?

Re: [Mono-dev] [PATCH] Generate Consts.vb from Consts.cs (new patch)
Hi,
I attached a cs2vb.cs that is functionally equivalent to cs2vb.pl. (I
created this just for fun to show how much easier it is in Perl.:)
I anybody has ideas how to compile a C# program before compiling anything
else help is welcome otherwise I think the previously attached cs2vb.pl is
the best solution.
But perhaps tomorrow you need constans and X; and in one month you see
that you need Y too, and then Z... And you could have finished it
earlier reusing code..? :)
Consts.cs is for constants. If we need code it probably will be (and should
be) put to separate code files. Converting code from one language to another
as the part of the build process is a bad idea anyway. Even if you convert
it programatically you have to look at the result that everyting is fine. So
if we need the same code both in C# and VB there should be two source files
in SVN.
Consts.cs is a special case because it only contains constants. It's more
like a configuration file than a code file.

Thanks for both answers Kornel and Robert. BTW, there is already some implementation of language conversion utilities, which could be reused here AFAIK, from the SD guys.

Re: [Mono-dev] [PATCH] Generate Consts.vb from Consts.cs (new patch)
Hi, I think we already have perl dependency. I decided to use perl because this conversion is done solely using regular expressions and perl is good at it. On the other hand things in the common directory are built before any bootstrap compilation is done it may be better not to rely on mcs in this directory. Anyway if others prefer to have a cs2vb.cs instead I'll port it to C# because it's really small work.

Consts.cs contains contants that are usable in these assemblies as well so it is preferable to have a Consts.vb as well. I created cs2vb.pl that is intended to generate Consts.vb from Consts.cs so that only Consts.cs.in has to be maintained by hand. Please review and approve the patch.
