Re: [Mono-list] SDRSharp errors CS0234 and CS0246

[Daniel Morgan]

How well does SDR Sharp work on Mono on Linux?  Does it work with the SoftRock 
SDR?  

I'm tempted to buy one of those SoftRock SDRs.  Can't beat it for US$21.

Re: [Mono-list] Oracle Managed Data Provider (ODP.NET)

[Daniel Morgan]

Hey Paco.  Long time no see.  

I added the feature requests for mono and a fully managed odp.net driver.  The 
fully managed driver isn't so fully managed after all.  There are DllImports to 
kernel32.dll.  But still, i tried running it on mono on windows, and it still 
failed. Some globaliztion Functionality missing in mono maybe.

[Mono-list] Oracle Managed ODP.NET Beta

[Daniel Morgan]

The beta for the fully managed edition of the ODP.NET provider fails to work on 
Mono.

Oracle Data Provider for .NET, Managed Driver Beta 11.2.0.3.50
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/downloads/odpmbeta-1696432.html


I am running Mono on Windows 7 32-bit.
Mono is version 2.11.4 for Windows.

Managed ODP.NET is designed to work on .NET 4.0.  I have Visual Studio 2010 SP1 
and Oracle 11g Release 2 for Windows 32-bit.

The example works on .net 4.0, but the program throws an exception on Mono.

The exception is a TypeInitializationException for 
OracleInternal.ServiceObjects.OracleGlobalizationImpl.
TimeZoneNotFoundException.

Or do I have something not setup correctly?

Here is the exception:

D:\projects\oracle_managed\oracle_managed\bin\Debug>mono oracle_managed.exe
Error: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type i
nitializer for OracleInternal.ServiceObjects.OracleGlobalizationImpl ---> System

Press RETURN to exit.

Also, why is the Mono Windows Installer 90MB.  That is huge to download.
Also, why are you including all the static libraries (they have a one letter 
file extension of .a)?
Most users/developers of Mono do not use these static libraries.  

If developers need these archives, is it possible to create a separate 
installer that includes those static archives?  I think the people who need it 
might be those who build mono or gtk# on windows.

Here is the sample program I ran to use Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.dll

using System;
using Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client;
using Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Types;

namespace Connect
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                // Please replace the connection string attribute settings
                string constr = "Data 
Source=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=127.0.0.1)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=testdb11)));User
 ID=scott;Password=tiger";

                OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection(constr);

               
                con.Open();
                Console.WriteLine("Connected to Oracle Database {0}", 
con.ServerVersion);

                /*
                OracleCommand cmd = con.CreateCommand();
                cmd.CommandText = "SELECT view_name FROM all_views WHERE rownum 
< 5";
                OracleDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
                Console.WriteLine("Views");
                int viewCount = 0;
                while (reader.Read())
                {
                    string viewName = 
reader.GetString(reader.GetOrdinal("view_name"));
                    Console.WriteLine("View: {0}", viewName);
                    viewCount++;
                }
                Console.WriteLine("View count: {0}", viewCount);
                */
                con.Dispose();

                Console.WriteLine("Press RETURN to exit.");
                Console.ReadLine();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {

Re: [Mono-list] GTKsharp 3

[Daniel Morgan]

Mike Kestner is the maintainer of Gtk#.  However, I agree.  If he does not have 
time no more, then someone should become the new maintainer of gtk#.

Gtk# can be found here at Github.  You will see changes have been made for gtk+ 
3.0.   And you will see custom files have been moved to partial classes.
https://github.com/mono/gtk-sharp 


We have been waiting a long time for a preview of Gtk# 3.0.

The banshee port to GTK# 3 is complete they are just waiting for a release of 
GTK # 3 (as of 3 months ago, from Comment 8)

Mike is the maintainer of GTK# but he doesn't have any time to work on 
it (according to Comment 7). I'm not sure who this Mike is but if he doesn't 
have time to maintain it, is the project then in need of a new maintainer?

I still have not been able to establish where the GTK# 3 code is hosted. If I

even contribute any fixes I require. 

I would also like to know who is in a position to issue a release. I can't see 
why a release shouldn't happen straight away so that us app developers and go 
ahead and attempt to port our applications. The most effect way to kill a

Re: [Mono-list] Which GUI?

[Daniel Morgan]

Are you interested in a web or client-side GUI?

http://www.mono-project.com/Gui_Toolkits 



ASP.NET WebForms.  Use a JavaScript library to do your drawing.  Maybe use an 
HTML5 canvas?
Microsoft ASP.NET MVC might be included since it is MVC is open source.

Moonlight (Silverlight) is dead, but it is open-source.

System.Windows.Forms is cross-platform on Mono, but only external contributors 
have been maintaining it.
The System.Drawing layer that provides the drawing capabilities for 
System.Windows.Forms is based on libgdiplus (on Linux).  On Windows, the native 
Win32 API is used.

There is no working Windows Presentation Foundation for Mono, but you might 
find something in Olive in git.

Gtk# - this is being maintained by Xamarin - has to be - it is used as the GUI 
in MonoDevelop which they use for their commercial products.
http://www.mono-project.com/GtkSharp 


http://www.mono-project.com/GtkSharpTutorials 


There is the Gdk drawing layer, but most are using Cairo these days. 
Gtk# is C# bindings to the Gtk+ toolkit found here:
http://www.gtk.org/ 


There might be some OpenGL framework that works on Mono.  I can't remember.  
Was it OpenTK or Tao or SDL.NET?

Hello.

Ok, so I've had a couple of hours to test Mono and MonoDevelop, seems rather
nice, re-wrote out webservice in it from scratch in 3 hours, took 3 days in
Flash.  So that's nice :)

But, I need advice.  Which GUI toolkit to use?  A lot of our team come from
flash, so are used to creating sprites in code, then loading images onto
them if needed.  I personally like to draw everything in code, keep it fast. 
I'm wondering the best choice of GUI SDK to go with?  For example, if I
wanted a window and a simple way to draw a square on it, then click that
square and have it animate.  I can't find anything online.

Re: [Mono-list] rlwrap with sqlsharp

[Daniel Morgan]

No idea.

The sqlsharp SQL query tool needs a complete rewrite.  But, it also needs to 
stay lean because it is included with Mono.

If someone did such a rewrite, I would use getline.cs found in the csharp tool 
as Mono.Terminal.LineEditor.  This would be able to provide the command history 
you're looking for.

https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/mcs/tools/csharp/getline.cs


What would be funny is if someone created a SQL query tool for Mono but has a 
TUI sort of like Midnight Commander.  

I suppose there should have been a \EDIT command which would allow you to edit 
your query in your favorite text editor, such as, vi or emacs.

I've searched around and there seems to be a few options but nothing seems

Does anyone know of an alternative to WMP that can be embedded in a form
exposing some of the controls but also allowing programmatic control?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jay is not only used for Mono's C# compiler, but it is also used for the

Jay is included with Mono.   It is the source tree at mono/mcs/jay

GPGP is a generator for LALR(1) parsers.  It accepts a “YACC/BISON-like” input

Re: [Mono-list] Problem accessing an Access database in C#

[Daniel Morgan]

OLE-DB in namespace System.Data.OleDb is not supported on Mono.  OLE-DB is not 
maintained. There are some old bindings internally to libgda; however, libgda 
breaks backwards compatibility all the time.  Going this route is a big waste 
of time.


Because OleDb is part of the System.Data.dll assembly, we cannot simply remove 
it.

You could try creating your own C# bindings to mdbtools.  You can do an 
internet search to see if someone has.  But, I think this is a waste of time 
too.


Maybe there is an ODBC driver to mdbtools.  If there is, you can use the ODBC 
functionality in Mono's System.Data.Odbc.

My suggestion would be to convert your Access database to a DBMS that Mono has 
support for, such as, a SQLite database.You can use Mono's Mono.Data.Sqlite 
provider or use the provider from the sqlite.org 

http://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/downloads.wiki

There is even a fully managed C# implementation of SQLite called C#-Sqlite:

Hi,

I seem to have hit a problem when try to drag data from an Access file. I know 
I can do it as I've populated some combo boxes using pretty much the same code, 
however, the code below is returning nothing and I cannot see why!

Any help would be appreciated

    private void searchInformation(List detail, List opts)
    {
    int id = 0;
    string commandString = "Select TutorID from TutorNames WHERE Name =

    OleDbCommand objCommand = new OleDbCommand(commandString, conn);
    conn.Open();
    OleDbDataReader reader = objCommand.ExecuteReader();
    while (reader.Read() == true)
    {
    try
    {
    id = (int)reader["TutorID"];
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    { }
    }
    conn.Close();

    if (id == 0)
    {
    MessageBox.Show(detail[0] + " doesn't exist on the database", 
"Database", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
    return;
    }
    MessageBox.Show(detail[0] + " exists, ID = " + id.ToString(), 
"Database");
<---8

details[0] contains the name to be searched for (directly from a TextBox). 
TutorID exists in the TutorNames table and for test purposes, I'm using data 
that I know exists.

The only thing I can think of is that there are some escape characters at the 
end of the text (either being passed in or in the database) - everything else 
seems valid.

I have tried 

"Select * from TutorNames where Name = '" + details[0] + "'" to see if I can 
see TutorID, but nothing is being returned.

Additionally, I've tried another tack using a DataSet and DataTable in a 
similar way to the ways shown on MSDN, but still nothing.

Any clues would be appreciated!

Thanks

I just wanted to flag that old releases are in the GitHub repo as well. It
seems to go back continuously to at least Mono-1.0 although there is a
branch called MONO_0.28 that has files from 2002/2003.

This recent experience shows the wisdom in having this historical record
available in more than one place.

PS.

I am extremely happy that Xamarin is moving to create a Mono website that is
not controlled by Novell. Probably the most important thing to move to safer
ground is Bugzilla. I know that Novell uses it for other things but I still
worry that it could disappear. The forums and mailing lists are still
ximian.com as well which I am sure stayed with Novell. I hope that
MonoDevelop finds a new home too.

Can you include the old and ancient releases of mono too?

Case for keeping old releases:

Just last night I could not figure out to get jay to work for me in a 
mono-2.10.2 release.  I was trying to build your csharp and Mono-CSharp without 
using mono's build system.  So, I found an ancient release of mcs 0.12 tarball 
and used it to figure out how to use jay correctly.  The older releases of 
mono/mcs tarballs were simple compared to the complex build rules that we have 
now.  Unzips faster too.

Subject: [Mono-list] Mono Project: Next Steps


Hello folks,

   Some of you have been asking about the upcoming release of Mono 2.12.

   We hit a little bit of a bump in the road with the layoff of the Mono team, 
but we have now re-constituted the team at Xamarin and we are getting back to 
speed.  Our first priority at Xamarin is to ensure that our amazing team of 
hackers remains employed, so we are focused on creating amazing products for 
the mobile space.   Of course, our products are entirely based on Mono, and as 
you can see from the commits to the various Mono modules, a lot of our energy 
goes into improving Mono.

   To get the 2.12 release to your hands, here’s what we still need to do:

(a) We need to be able to build packages
(b) We need to be able to host the software
(c) We need to adopt the branching and release procedures.

   During the transition to Xamarin, we lost our build engineer. But luckily at 
Xamarin we’ve hired Alex Corrado, a very talented developer who’s created a new 
build system for Mono.  The good news is that we are making progress and we are 
now able to build Linux and MacOS packages.   Next, Alex is working on Windows 
builds.  We are not there yet, but we will be there in the next couple of weeks.

   Once we have packages, we will setup a new website for the Mono project 
where we can host the software and the other project resources, like a wiki, 
forums, etc.  So we are working on a separate domain to host both a Mono web 
site and the software, and that should be up in the next week or two.

   Once we have something ready, we will share the information with the rest of 
the world and give access to the new Wiki to the various maintainers to help us 
keep the content up to date. 

Thank you for your patience and your love for Mono!

Miguel

Re: [Mono-list] Connecting to Oracle as SYSDBA

[Daniel Morgan]

The API of System.Data.OracleClient nor its connection string provide a way for 
you to connect as sysdba.  This is a known limitation.   If you were using .net 
on windows, I would suggest for you to use odp.net from oracle.   However, 
odp.net does not work on mono.

DBA Privilege is not a valid connection string parameter for 
System.Data.OracleClient.  

There is data direct's oracle provider which may work on mono and it may have 
the ability to connect as sysdba.

Re: [Mono-list] Connecting to a database (VB)

[Daniel Morgan]

My explaination is how to use Mono's SqlClient with Integrated Security 
currently.  If you can inspect the packets on your machine, you might be able 
to discover how to get it to work locally.

I have verified a long time ago that Mono's SqlClient can connect to SQL Server 
using Integrated Security.  You have to specify the windows domain userid and 
password because there is no way that I know of to get this info from the 
Windows operationg system. 

To understand this more, read about Domain Logins in FreeTDS.
http://www.freetds.org/userguide/domains.htm

To support NTLM locally, you would need to modify Mono.Data.Tds Tds.cs

If client receives type 2 message from the server with the Negotiate Local Call 
(0x4000) flag, then you will need to do things differently to support local 
authentication.

Re: [Mono-list] Connecting to a database (VB)

[Daniel Morgan]

Mono's SqlClient supports Integrated Security (NTLM), but you must be on a true 
windows domain.  A workgroup does not count. You also have to give your windows 
domain user id and password.  On Mono's SqlClient, you have to give your 
windows domain credentials because Mono is not integrated with your Windows 
workstation, nor SQL Server, nor the Windows server where the SQL Server 
instance is running.

Re: [Mono-list] GStreamer#

[Daniel Morgan]

Forget about Gstreamer#.  As far as I know, nobody is maintaining it.

Take a look at the Banshe Project to see how they use Gstreamer.
http://banshee.fm/contribute/write-code/

libbanshee might be a native library that wraps gstreamer.  Banshee then uses 
libanshee.

I was hoping to get a invite to the MonoDroid beta, but I haven't even though I 
signed up.

Originally when I signed up, I had answered one of the questions that I did not 
download the Android SDK.

However, this has changed.  I have since download the Android SDK and been 
playing with the virutal machine.  

I want to create Android apps using C#.

Re: [Mono-list] Class status page for OracleCommandBuilder.DeriveParameters shows it implemented but throws not implemented error

I would imagine you would look up view SYS.ALL_ARGUMENTS to get the arguments 
on a stored procedure.  You would have to translate the oracle type string to 
an OracleType .net type.  

Here is sample code to look up ALL_ARGUMENTS.

// get procedures/functions for a given stored package and get 
the
// arguments for each procedure/function
private void GetPackageProcedures (MetaProcedure pkg) 
{
if (con.State != ConnectionState.Open)
con.Open();

// GET ARGUMENTS FOR PROCEDURES/FUNCTIONS FOR PACKAGES
string sql = 
"SELECT OBJECT_NAME, OVERLOAD, 
NVL(ARGUMENT_NAME,'(RETURN)') AS ARGUMENT_NAME, " +
"   POSITION, SEQUENCE, " +
"   IN_OUT AS DIRECTION, " +
"   DECODE(TYPE_NAME, NULL, DATA_TYPE, 
TYPE_OWNER || '.' || TYPE_NAME) AS DATA_TYPE " +
"FROM SYS.ALL_ARGUMENTS " +
"WHERE OWNER = '" + pkg.Owner + "' " +
"AND PACKAGE_NAME = '" + pkg.Name + "' " +
"AND DATA_LEVEL = 0 " +
"ORDER BY OBJECT_NAME, OVERLOAD, POSITION, 
SEQUENCE, DATA_LEVEL";

IDbCommand cmd = con.CreateCommand ();
cmd.CommandText = sql;

IDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader ();

// Notes:
// 1. an Oracle stored package can overloaded functions 
or procedures
// 2. stand-alone functions or procedures can not be 
overloaded
// 3. a procedure with no arguments will still have one 
row - data_type will be null
string previousProcName = "~";
string previousOverload = "~";
MetaProcedure proc = null;
string procType = "Procedures";
while (reader.Read ()) {
string procName = reader.GetString (0);
string argName = reader.GetString (2);

string overload = String.Empty;
if (!reader.IsDBNull (1))
overload = reader.GetString (1);

string direction = String.Empty;
if (!reader.IsDBNull (5))
direction = reader.GetString (5);

string dataType = String.Empty;
if (!reader.IsDBNull (6)) 
dataType = reader.GetString (6);

if (!procName.Equals (previousProcName) || 
!previousOverload.Equals (overload)) {
if (argName.Equals ("(RETURN)") && 
(!dataType.Equals (String.Empty))) {
procType = "Functions";
direction = String.Empty;
}
else
procType = "Procedures";

proc = new MetaProcedure (String.Empty, 
procName, procType);
pkg.Procedures.Add (proc);

previousProcName = procName;
previousOverload = overload;
}

if (!dataType.Equals (String.Empty)) {
MetaProcedureArgument arg = new 
MetaProcedureArgument (pkg.Owner, procName, procType,

Re: [Mono-list] libtool: link: unsupported hardcode properties

Make sure g++ installed.  Installing gcc does not mean g++ gets installed too.  
And make sure libtool is installed.

Do a make clean and run ./configure again.

Re: [Mono-list] [ANN] DeveelDB 0.9.6 released!

[Daniel Morgan]

Antonello ,
I downloaded the source and the windows binaries.

Where is the installations directions?  An install.txt or readme.txt file?

Do you have any examples?
Example SQL scripts to create a database with sample tables, views, etc...?
Example C# client application that connects to the datasbase and retrieves and 
displays the data?  Just a simple example.

How do you create a new database and/or create a new user or change the 
password of a user?   Have this in a readme, install, or a manual text file.  

How do you install the db server?  

How do you start the db server? or shut it down?

A command-line console program for administrating and executing SQL commands on 
the database would be nice.

I would also suggest upgrading to .net 2005 or .net 2008.
Both Mono and Microsoft are moving away from .net 1.1.

I would also support ADO.NET 2.0, such as, the provider factory.

I would like to try it out, but I don't even know where to start.

Some example SQL statements would be good too:
create a table, insert some data into table, select some data, update some 
data, delete some data.  

Basically, can you provide some "basics", such as, examples and some 
installation directions to get started?

Thanks,
Daniel

Re: [Mono-list] mono oracle support and Nhibernate

[Daniel Morgan]

Go for it.

No one is working on GetSchema right now.

Re: [Mono-list] Mono and Oracle OCI character set encoding

[Daniel Morgan]

When you use OCIUnicodeToCharSet, you are suppose to call it twice.  

1. To get the size of the buffer.  See null being passed in.
2. To fill the buffer using the size you got from 1.

485  // Get size of buffer
486 status = OciCalls.OCIUnicodeToCharSet (statement.Parent, null, svalue, 
out rsize);
487 // Fill buffer
488 status = OciCalls.OCIUnicodeToCharSet (statement.Parent, bytes, svalue, 
out rsize);

Re: [Mono-list] Mono and Oracle OCI character set encoding

[Daniel Morgan]

I was considering forking System.Data.OracleClient myself to get missing 
features that are found in ODP.NET, but I haven't.  

Are you keeping this fork in some public source code repository?  This would 
allow others to contribute patches.

Re: [Mono-list] does mono support int32

[Daniel Morgan]

Functions in vb.net require parentheses.  Also, the conversion will fail if 
there was an overflow.  You did not specify the exact error message.

Re: [Mono-list] Solved:- Oracle Client Connection: Connection parameter not supported

[Daniel Morgan]

The documentation on the wiki was updated based on a commit (check-in) to 
mono's subversion repository.  However, this commit was done after the branch 
for mono-2.0 was done. 

I will try to back-port this and other fixes for oracle to the mono 2.0 branch.

Re: [Mono-list] [Mono-dev] Idea for use MonoCharge under Windows

[Daniel Morgan]

This will not work if the runtime changes - more specifically, one of the 
internal calls changes.  If so, then the mono runtime will need to be re-built.

If you're going to build the latest, you might as well learn Subversion and 
Cygwin.

[Mono-list] Approving Patches for Mono 2.0 Branch

[Daniel Morgan]

Mono's wiki has a good explanation.  Basically, it is our source code 
management.  When I say trunk, I mean the latest.  Then Mono project has an 
anonymous subversion server which allows anyway to check out code.

http://www.mono-project.com/SVN

I suppose I should backport my fixes to the Mono 2.0 branch. I don't know how 
to do that.  Nor do I know who to ask for approval for my patches.

Re: [Mono-list] re f cursor issue in oracle stored procedure invoked from mono

[Daniel Morgan]

Ok.  I fixed your bug.  I just committed it to svn trunk.  It was revision 
112250.

The bug was with an output parameter that is a ref cursor from a stored 
procedure when calling ExecuteReader.  ExecuteReader is used by DbDataAdapter 
to fill a DataSet.

Re: [Mono-list] re f cursor issue in oracle stored procedure invoked from mono

[Daniel Morgan]

DbDataAdapter uses ExecuteReader and the returned reader to populate the data 
table.  If you try your example with ExecuteReader and then try to get the data 
reader from the parameter, it will fail because you will have DBNull.Value.  At 
least this is what you get on .net 2.0.

My advice is to use ExecuteNonQuery(), then get the data reader from the 
parameter.  Then manually load a data table.  

Here is an example that works for me on .net 2.0 and mono:

// test.cs
// gmcs test.cs /r:System.Data.dll /r:System.Data.OracleClient.dll
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.Common;
using System.Data.OracleClient;

public class test
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Start.");
OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection("Data source=testdb;user 
id=someuser;password=somepass");
con.Open();
OracleCommand cmdSp = con.CreateCommand();
cmdSp.CommandText = "BEGIN\n SP_TEST_REF_CURSOR(:crsdata); \nEND;\n";
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
OracleParameter oprCursor = new OracleParameter("crsdata", 
OracleType.Cursor);
oprCursor.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
cmdSp.Parameters.Add(oprCursor);

cmdSp.ExecuteNonQuery();

OracleDataReader reader = (OracleDataReader)oprCursor.Value;

Console.WriteLine("Build DataSet from reader that holds a REF CURSOR"); 
   

DataTable schema = reader.GetSchemaTable();
DataTable newTable = new DataTable();
if (reader.FieldCount > 0)
{
foreach (DataRow row in schema.Rows)
{
string columnName = row["ColumnName"].ToString();
Type columnType = (Type)row["DataType"];
newTable.Columns.Add(columnName, columnType);
}
while (reader.Read())
{
object[] values = new object[newTable.Columns.Count];
reader.GetValues(values);
newTable.Rows.Add(values);
}
}

reader.Close();

Console.WriteLine("Add DataTable to DataSet");
ds.Tables.Add(newTable);

Console.WriteLine("Show Result");
Console.WriteLine("Columns in DataTable");
foreach (DataColumn column in ds.Tables[0].Columns)
{
Console.WriteLine("  ColumnName: " + column.ColumnName);
Console.WriteLine("  DataType: " + column.DataType.ToString());
}
Console.WriteLine("Rows in DataTable");
foreach (DataRow row in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
{
for (int c = 0; c < ds.Tables[0].Columns.Count; c++)
{
Console.WriteLine("Column " + c.ToString());
if (row[c].Equals(DBNull.Value))
Console.WriteLine(" Value is DBNull.Value");
else
{
Console.WriteLine(" Value: " + row[c].ToString());
Console.WriteLine(" Value Type: " + 
row[c].GetType().ToString());
}
}
}

con.Close();
con = null;
Console.WriteLine("Success!");
}
}

Re: [Mono-list] re f cursor issue in oracle stored procedure invoked from mono

[Daniel Morgan]

Here is a more complete test case in C#.  I changed the stored procedure name 
to SP_TEST_REF_CURSOR.

// test.cs
// mcs test.cs /r:System.Data.dll /r:System.Data.OracleClient.dll
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.Common;
using System.Data.OracleClient;

public class test 
{
public static void Main(string[] args) 
{
Console.WriteLine("Start.");
OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection("Data 
source=testdb;user id=someuser;password=somepass");
con.Open();
OracleCommand cmdSp = con.CreateCommand();
//cmdSp.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
//cmdSp.CommandText = "SP_TEST_REF_CURSOR";
cmdSp.CommandText = "BEGIN\n SP_TEST_REF_CURSOR(:crsdata); 
\nEND;\n";
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
OracleParameter oprCursor = new OracleParameter("crsdata", 
OracleType.Cursor);
oprCursor.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
cmdSp.Parameters.Add(oprCursor);

OracleDataAdapter dasp = new OracleDataAdapter(cmdSp);
try 
{
dasp.Fill(ds);
Console.WriteLine("Success!");
}
catch (Exception e) 
{
Console.Error.WriteLine("Error: " + e.Message);
Console.Error.WriteLine(e);
}

con.Close();
    con = null;
}
}

I would go with the top first, and then the next...

ASP.NET
GTK#
System.Windows.Forms

I have found GTK# to be good on Windows, Linux, and
Solaris.  I have read it works good on Mac OS X
natively too.  However, if you want to use gtk# on
windows, try to stay away from Gnome-specific stuff.

Re: [Mono-list] How do you manually install the runtime environment of Mono on Windows (Vista)?

[Daniel Morgan]

Use the Windows Installer on a test/development
machine.  Install to a path like C:\mono-1.2.6

Do not install in a path like C:\Program
Files\Mono-1.2.6

Zip up the results.  

The problem with a manual install is that the
installer generates scripts based on your installation
path.  The installer also generates the proper
pkg-config pc files found at in your
mono_install_path\lib\pkgconfig

And last, the installer adds a registry key for
novell/mono so 3rd party applications can find the
default mono installation.  The installer may add a
registry key for gtk+ and gtk# as well.

With understanding the above, copy the zip file to
another test machine.  Unzip and try to run on mono on
the 2nd test machine.

This is where virtual machines will come in handy for
you.  You create a virtual machine once.  For each
test, copy the virtual machine file, start the virtual
machine, copy over and unzip mono, test mono.

Re: [Mono-list] System.Data.OracleClient on z/Linux - 64-bit - Big-endian

[Daniel Morgan]

After some discussion on IRC, this what some helpful
people gave me.  

Marshal an IntPtr since it is the size of a native
pointer.  I believe an IntPtr can be casted to an int
or long and vice-versa.

Re: [Mono-list] System.Data.OracleClient on z/Linux

[Daniel Morgan]

Go to Mono's web site and go to the download page. 
Download the source code to mono if you have not
already.  Unarchive it somewhere.  I assume you know
how to ungzip and untar a file.

In the source, go to
mono_source/mcs/class/System.Data.OracleClient/System.Data.OracleClient.cs

And look in file OciStatementHandle.cs at function
Prepare.  You should see it calling the function
OCIUnicodeToCharSet.  You need to see what the
function is actually passing returning via
Console.Error.WriteLine calls.

Oracle Call Interface Programmer's Guide
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14250/toc.htm

Documentation for all Oracle products can be found
here:
http://tahiti.oracle.com/

sword OCIUnicodeToCharSet ( dvoid   *hndl, 
OraText *dst, 
size_t  dstlen, 
CONST ub2   *src, 
size_t  srclen, 
size_t  *rsize );

The docs says these are the possible values that can
be returned: OCI_SUCCESS, OCI_INVALID_HANDLE. or
OCI_ERROR.  I'm not sure the proper way to marshal a
size_t that will work on 32-bit and 64-bits systems. 
Perhaps someone reading this can shed some light.

Also, take a look at OciCalls.cs and see how to enable
tracing.  You may need to re-build
System.Data.OracleClient to enable tracing.  And I
think you would also need to set OCI_TRACE to point to
the file to log tracing.

Re: [Mono-list] System.Data.OracleClient on z/Linux

[Daniel Morgan]

I don't think the OracleClient provider has been
tested with z/Linux.  The provider has mainly been
tested on 32-bit x86 platforms (little-endian), such
as, Linux, Windows, and Solaris x86.

Some questions:
1. is z/Linux big-endian or little-endian?
2. is z/Linux 32-bit or 64-bit?

Most of the problems you will find with the provider
is with the marshalling code using DllImport into the
OCI library -- especially the marshalling of integer
values.

Re: [Mono-list] Sept 14th: MonoDevelop Bug Day

[Daniel Morgan]

I understand this maybe low-priority for you, but I
would like to see it fixed - get MonoDevelop to build
and run on Win32 - at least console projects building
and running out-of-the-box would be nice.  

I think it would be a stretch to ask for the asp.net
and gtk# designers to work too -- however I would not
complain if someone did get these to work on Win32
too. :-)

Another request: improve database support.  Remove
hard references to the data providers in the MonoQuery
add-in.  Will the GSoC changes that were done via
MonoDevelop.Database be integrated?  If so, will
MonoDevelop be removed?  Just curious.

Re: [Mono-list] Oracle/OCI Thread Abort?

[Daniel Morgan]

I don't know the answer to OCI.  However, I do know
the Oracle provider is NOT thread-safe.

Is the oracle client provider in microsoft .net
framework thread-safe?

If yes, any recommendations on how to make the
provider thread-safe?

Since menus were not showing properlY, I took the gtk+
runtime from Pidgeon (used to be called Gaim) and put
it in my mono installation prefix.  Now, the menus
show up properly.  This is on windows vista.
According to pidgeon, the gtk+ runtime is 2.10.11.
I tested this via SQL# GTK.

Re: [Mono-list] Mono bindings to OpenOffice.org

[Daniel Morgan]

I just wanted to mention to everyone that the mono
bindings are in debian unstable.  Also, they are
included with open office.org 2.2 (ooo-build) in
ubuntu feisty 7.04.  Note however that this requires
mono to be built from subversion because mono 1.2.3
will not work.  This should be no big deal because
mono is easy to build on linux.  I would like to hear
from people who have tried the mono bridge.

Re: [Mono-list] Port MSSQL implementation as well

[Daniel Morgan]

There is Sybase Adapter Server Enterprise and VistaDB
which are similar to Microsoft SQL Server.

Sybase runs on Linux and Windows.  Mono has a data
provider for Sybase.

VistaDB 3.0 is fully managed so it should run on
Windows and Linux.  VistaDB 3.0 has support for Mono.

As in other emails: MySQL, PostgreSQL were mentioned. 
Let's not forget Firebird.

Re: [Mono-list] [ANNOUNCE] Call for beta testers and developers on Minosse RDBMS

[Daniel Morgan]

Does the client library as an ADO.NET data provider
work?  

Browsing subversion I noticed the Open() method is
throwing NotImplementedException().  

Are we to use Login() instead?  Open() is part of the
IDbConnection interface.  Could it be implemented to
parse a connection string and then call Login() ?

Re: [Mono-list] [ANNOUNCE] Call for beta testers and developers on Minosse RDBMS

[Daniel Morgan]

Great!

Does Minosse RDBMS build and run on Mono?  

On what platforms does it build and run?  Linux,
Windows, MacOS, Solaris, FeeBSD, etc.?

Does Minosse RDBMS build and run on Microsoft .NET
Framework?

Also, where can we download it?  Do you have a source
tarball or zip file?  What about a binary tarball too?

What are the licenses used for this project?  I see
GPL.  Could your client libraries be LGPL instead of
GPL please?

Checking out from subversion does not count as
downloading.  With a "beta", we need some files to
"download".  Can you provide these files please?

Thanks,

[Mono-list] Mono WinForms Problems Connecting to Sql 2005

[Daniel Morgan]

Note: if you are using Windows Authentication, your
SQL Server and the client computer connecting to this
SQL Server must be on a real Windows NT/2000/2003
Domain for Windows Authentication to work.

Samba may work, but I'm not sure.  

Also, with Mono, you must include your Windows
NT/2000/2003 Domain User and Password when connecting
via Windows Authentication.

You can read more info here about Mono's SqlClient
provider here:

http://www.mono-project.com/SQLClient

My advice, make sure SQL Server can accept TCP/IP
connections.  Make sure the server is set up for
mix-mode authentication (windows authentication and
sql server authentication).

One more thing, do you even read the replies people
send to you? I asked you this earlier:

How does you connection strings look like?

You can rename your actual user id and password to
.

Are you using an instance name in your connection
string?  You mentioned you are connecting via SQL
Server Authentication.  

Have you increased the CONNECTION TIMEOUT?  The
default is 15 seconds.

To know for sure you're connecting via .net the same
way you are in mono, add this to your connection
string for running on .net:

;network library=dbmssocn

Then if you get the same thing on .net as you do with
mono, then you know its something with connecting via
TCP/IP.  And if you were using a named instance, then
you may need to open up access to UDP port 1434.

Here is an entry from my blog about this.

Only one table is shown because the

I can provide you with some sample code for an

No.  The DataGrid in MonoQuery is based an old version
of sqlsharpgtk.

Currently, there is no release of MonoDevelop that
runs on Windows, but someone did commit to subversion
support to run on Windows.  Hopefully, Paco or Wade
can provide a runnining MonoDevelop with the next
windows installer release of mono.

Re: [Mono-list] System.InvalidCastException in Npgsql

[Daniel Morgan]

Npgsql and Mono are okay.

There is a bug in sqlsharpgtk.

In subversion, this has been fixed.

You can read about anonymous subversion access here.
http://www.mono-project.com/AnonSVN

This how you would use subversion to get sqlsharpgtk
from the subversion trunk.

svn co
svn://svn.myrealbox.com/source/trunk/sqlsharpgtk

Mono.Data.SqlSharp.GtkSharp is not part of Mono thus
there is no documentation about it on Monodoc.  What
documentation are you interested in?  
The ProviderFactory which sqlsharpgtk uses, or the
database browser, various data providers like Npgsql,
Mono.Data.SybaseClient, Mono.Data.SqliteClient,
System.Data.OracleClient?

Have you looked into the MonoQuery add-in for
MonoDevelop?

I will try to release a new version of sqlsharpgtk
which has the bug fixed.

Re: [Mono-list] FW: MySql Connector

[Daniel Morgan]

Before you set your data adapter and command to null,
try using Dispose().  I don't have the docs in front
of me right now to see if data adapter has a
Dispose(), but I do know command does.

[Mono-list] Portability Layer and MonoDevelop

[Daniel Morgan]

After reading monologue, I noticed it mention many
Windows programmers fail to use the portability code
for paths.  

I wanted to mention that many Linux programmers do
this too with Mono.  They hard-code paths such as
"\usr\local\bin\somefile" when this does not exist on
Windows unless they are running the application under
cygwin.  Good example of this is MonoDevelop.  Good
thing Tak cleaned this up.

Re: [Mono-list] DB2 Status? (db2_36.so and DB2 9 Viper, etc)

[Daniel Morgan]

Use whatever the shared library filename of your IBM
DB2 call level interface library.  Do you even have
the IBM DB2 client software installed?

If you do not, Download the DB2 Driver for ODBC and
CLI.

http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/db2/udb/db2express/download.html

Mono's ODBC data provider is found in the System.Data
assembly and namespace System.Data.Odbc.

Read here for more info:
http://www.mono-project.com/ODBC

See if you have unixODBC or iODBC installed.  If not,
you can download unixODBC from unixodbc.org.

Re: [Mono-list] DB2 Status? (db2_36.so and DB2 9 Viper, etc)

[Daniel Morgan]

Take a look at you mono_prefix/etc/mono/config file.

The filename is just config.

Look for a dllmap entry.
Change the target to whatever shared library you have.

If there is no entry there add it. 
An example:



Or.



Or.



dll is the library it is looking for or whatever it is
defined in the DllImport attribute.
target is the library filename to map the dll to.

By the way, the DB2 provider is unmaintained.  Unless,
you care to provide patches. 
So, I recommend using the ODBC provider instead.

Re: [Mono-list] Can anyone recommend a DB query analyzer app that will run using Mono on Windows?

[Daniel Morgan]

A table designer would require a lot of support from
Mono.Data.Sql which MonoQuery uses for database object
meta data.  See the TODO fil.  Feel free to update
this file.

MonoQuery does have a table explorer (most often
referred as a table browser).  It gives the the list
of columns and their definitions.  

As for the backing store dialog, are you suggesting a
properties dialog which details the connection string
parameters used to connect?  For SQL Lite this would
the URI of the filename of the database. 

The SQL Definition is a reverse engineering of a
particular database object.  This is so you can use
the SQL to create the object in another database.  

Note: a database object could be a table, view, stored
procedure, etc...

I would like to see others get involved in maintaining
MonoQuery and Mono.Data.Sql.  

What has Christian Hergert been up to these days?

Re: [Mono-list] Can anyone recommend a DB query analyzer app that will run using Mono on Windows?

[Daniel Morgan]

Have you tried the Gtk# Win32 Installer for Microsoft
.NET Framework 1.1 SDK?

http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/project/?gtks-inst4win
The link above is found on the www.mono-project.com
Download page.

This will allow you run Gtk# GUI applications on
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0.

However, for sqlsharpgtk, you will need to extract
Mono.Data.dll from your Mono 1.1.16 installation and
place it in the same place you would run
sqlsharpgtk.exe.  Mono.Data.dll has a ProviderFactory
which sqlsharpgtk uses.

Also, make sure you have a sqlsharpgtk.exe.config
file.
This config file is used to define the providers and
connection strings to be used by the provider factory.

Run sqlsharpgtk.exe in a .NET SDK Command Prompt.  Set
the path to the bin directory of you gtk# for .net
framework installation.


SET PATH=F:\GTK\2.8\bin;%PATH%

Other than that, I can only suggest trying various
database query tools on Mono from Sourceforge and see
what works or not.  You can post your results to the
mono-list.  We would be interested to see why it does
not work on Mono.

Re: [Mono-list] Can anyone recommend a DB query analyzer app that will run using Mono on Windows?

[Daniel Morgan]

MonoDevelop IDE has a add-in called MonoQuery. 
However, MonoDevelop does not really work on Windows
right now.

http://www.monodevelop.org/

MonoDevelop is an IDE ported from SharpDevelop using
System.Windows.Forms as the GUI running on Microsoft
.NET Framework to using GTK# as the GUI running on
Mono.

MonoQuery is a SQL query and database browser tool
which uses Mono.Data.Sql as the data access layer to
get various database object info.

Mono SQL# For GTK# is another tool which has a
database browser and SQL Query tool.  However, it is
only available from two places right now: sqlsharpgtk
in mono's subversion repository or with the Mono
Windows Installer.  SQL# For GTK# works on Windows and
Linux.

I would love to buy some t-shirts or coffee mugs with
Mono on them.  For the shirts, please have themn
available in big sizes such as 3XL.  Golf shirts would
be nice with a little Mono logo on them so I could
wear them to work and wear it proudly.

It could be used to pay bounties on new mono features

for their favorite bug or feature.  Isn't there a web
page for Gnome bounties?

Of course, my favorite mono bounties would be porting
MonoDevelop to Windows and Banshee to Windows.

Re: [Mono-list] An exception was thrown by the type initializer - System.Drawing.Text.PrivateFontCollectionm on Mac

[Daniel Morgan]

You should show the trace for this exception.  In it, you might be able to see 
why it didn't load the class.
Could it be you do not have libgdiplus.dynlib?  Or maybe need to modify a 
config file to map the dll?
 
I do not use Mac so I am only guessing here.

Hi all,

This code works fine on Mono stable under Windows but not Mac OS X:

System.Drawing.Text.PrivateFontCollection pf;

Console.WriteLine("GOT HERE");

pf = new System.Drawing.Text.PrivateFontCollection();

Console.WriteLine("GOT HERE2");

Output:

GOT HERE
An exception was thrown by the type initializer for ClassName.

Anyone have any ideas (I would upgrade to latest but the FTP is so slow atm)

Re: [Mono-list] mono+asp.net+oracle

[Daniel Morgan]

I haven't tried the ASP.NET 2.0 features, so I can not comment on them.
 
However, the ASP.NET 1.1 features should work well with Oracle.
 
See http://www.mono-project.com/Oracle 
which will give you an idea how complete System.Data.OracleClient is.
 
Even when using NET_2_0 profile in Mono, the NET_1_1 features should still work.  Its the new NET_2_0 features which may or may not be missing.  Stay away from using abstract classes like DbCommand that were added in NET_2_0.
 
ODBC support in Mono is good with System.Data.Odbc, and there is Oracle ODBC drivers for every platform that the Oracle client softare exists.  The Oracle Instant Client may work for you.
Places like http://www.openlinksw.com/ should have some ODBC Oracle drivers you could use if the drivers from Oracle are not up to speed.
 
If the above will not work for you, there is always an Oracle driver from datadirect.com which is fully managed and does not require any Oracle software to be installed.

Wade Berrier wrote:


- also, as Kornel said, the runtime should not be statically linked,
but instead it should be
 dynamically linked against a mono-1.dll file. This should be the
default in our build process, so I don't know why this isn't
happening. What configure arguments are you
using when building the runtime ?

   



First, from Kornél:

"Note that most of your modifications are welcome and I like them
(especially
that you moved native exe's to bin directory)"

I didn't do anything special here.  That's the way the build came out.
The only ./configure switch I used was "--prefix="

Here's the scoop on the static linking.

I ended up compiling gtk-sharp 1 and 2 with Paco's snapshot of cygwin
March of 2004.  (gcc 3.3.1 cygming special).  That was the only way I
get get it to link.

Then I noticed that when I built mono on the newest cygwin, the native
exe's (mono.exe, monodis.exe, etc...) were statically linked and each
around 9 MB.

So, I then tried to compile mono under Paco's environment and ended up
getting errors: /monobuild/mono/mono/handles/semdel: No
such file or directory

So I packaged up the statically linked version.

I'd like to be able to build with the latest cygwin but have not been
able to get it linking correctly:

*** Warning: linker path does not have real file for library -lintl.
*** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in
when
*** you link to this library. But I can only do this if you have a
*** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have
*** because I did check the linker path looking for a file starting
*** with libintl and none of the candidates passed a file format test
*** using a file magic. Last file
checked: /cygdrive/c/mono/Mono-1.1.8.3/bin/libintl-1.dll
*** Warning: libtool could not satisfy all declared inter-library
*** dependencies of module libglibsharpglue. Therefore, libtool will
create
*** a static module, that should work as long as the dlopening
*** application is linked with the -dlopen flag.
ar cru .libs/libglibsharpglue.a error.o list.o object.o slist.o type.o
unichar.o value.o valuearray.o
ranlib .libs/libglibsharpglue.a
creating libglibsharpglue.la

I'm not sure why the file magic is failing with the latest cygwin.  I
would at least like to build with the same version of cygwin that our
buildbot is using so that I don't run into all these last minute build
issues.

I was also thinking: maybe we should be using msys/mingw instead of
cygwin.  They provide a less-changing environment.  Some excerpts from
their website:

.. (previously MinGW was a moving target with all the constant updates
to individual packages, but now it is easier to verify things as being
"MinGW 1.0 compatible").  ... The updates to this package and it's
utilities are more controlled ...

We're using the mingw compiler from cygwin anyway.

That's the scoop.  As soon as these issues are solved I'll be able to
post a windows build of mono that includes the dll files.

Make sure you have the bin directory of your mono installation in your 
PATH first.


export PATH=/cygdrive/c/mono-1.1.8.3/bin:$PATH

This article may help too.

You do not need the binaries for GLIB2 from the download page.  Use what 
is available with the installer.

Re: [Mono-list] MySQL Connector/NET vs Mono

[Daniel Morgan]

If people are having problems running the MySQL Connector/NET on Mono, people could report these bugs to MySQL's bug database or wherever it is or a message to their public forum or mailing list to let them know.
 
However, I do believe "we" should continue to maintain ByteFX.Data since it works with Mono and it is distributed with Mono.  Nobody has stepped up to maintain it.  Any takers?
 
When having problems, it is usually good to include version info too:
What version of Mono?  Version of the MySQL database?  Version of MySQL Connector/Net?  Operating System/Processor?
 
I have read that ByteFX.Data fails to run on newer 4.x and 5.0 databases.

[Mono-list] OpenOffice.org and Mono status update

[Daniel Morgan]

I heard some people such as Christian Hergert were interested in Mono working with Open Office.org 2.0.
 
Here is Michael Meek's blog about Open Office.org and Mono working together on SUSE 9.3 Beta2.
 
http://www.gnome.org/~michael/activity.html#2005-08-23
 
This links to a wiki detailing how to get OOo working with Mono:
 
http://www.go-oo.org/wiki/index.php/Mono_Integration
 
Here is what Michael had to say on his blog:
 
Mono/OO.o on SUSE 9.3 Beta2 working nicely out of the box here's how to get it working: 

Install the OpenOffice_org-mono package via Yast. 
Download my .exe & run it [you know you want to]: $ cd /usr/lib/ooo-2.0/program
$ MONO_PATH=. mono SpreadsheetSample.exe
Watch the frenzied spreadsheet construction

Re: [Mono-list] Mono Bug Day

[Daniel Morgan]

There are two email lists that will help:
- mono-bugs 
- mono-patches
 
If you subscribe to these mail lists, you will be able to get email about a new bug or a change in a bug or its status.  Also, mono-patches will allow you to peer review others code.
 
Maybe a Pre-Release Days instead of Bug Day would be more appropriate for Mono.  We could help with docs, update status info on the mono wiki, test building the pre-release tarballs, test a pre-release of the installers, etc...  And of course, make sure any serious bugs are squashed so we can have an outstanding stable release.
 
However, any pre-release tarballs, RPMs, or installers would not be downloadable from the Downloads page.  Maybe only available as ftp and the word prerelease is in the tarball or installer's filename.
 
Just some ideas...
 
I'll be waiting to see your wiki page.

Would this bug day be best set on a saturdayor sunday though? Whatever happens, I'm happy to give over as much time as Ican. I am using mono more and more now (especially as it forms the basis ofsome of my research project) - I can give back this way :-)TTFNPaul(watching MS.NET deinstall while thrashing the HD)-- "Logic, my dear Zoe, is merely the ability to be wrong with authority" -

Re: [Mono-dev] Re: [Mono-list] Release notes for upcoming Mono.

[Daniel Morgan]

Thanks for the heads up.

Maybe this would be a good time for a Bug Day for Mono.  Maybe bug day 
is not the right words as someone brought up on the list.  However, I 
think having a day dedicated for people to get together on IRC and 
discuss about the release of Mono.  Packing the RPMs.  Testing them.  
Building the linux and windows installers.  Letting people test them.  
Writing documentation.  Creating demos.


Just an idea.

it does not get built when you build mcs. 


Can we get Firebird added to the build please?

[Mono-list] Mono Database Documentation and Examples

[Daniel Morgan]

After seeing programmers struggling to connect to various databases using Mono, I realized we need some documentation and examples to help people get started.  
 
For instance, I could not find in a reasonable amount of time to figure out how to use parameters with ODBC to get data from a PostgreSQL database.
 
Does anyone have working examples to contribute?  I would like to add them to Mono's wiki.
 
http://www.mono-project.com/Database_Access
 
Other examples could include using gtk# to load a TreeView with data from a PostgreSQL database would be nice.
 
Or how to execute a stored procedure on PostgreSQL using the Npgsql provider.
 
Or populating an ASP.NET data grid via a DataSet that was populated from SQL Lite or MySQL.
 
Examples for various databases including Sybase, Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, SQL Lite, ODBC, ADP (Advanced Data Provider), etc...
 
Thanks,
Daniel

Re: [Mono-list] Npgsql error

[Daniel Morgan]

If you wanted them both to be string, you could have:
 
string operatingsystem = reader["operatingsystem"].ToString();string nodeid = reader["nodeid"].ToString();
 
Or if needed the int, you could have:

 
string operatingsystem = reader.GetString(reader.GetOrdinal("operatingsystem"));
int nodeid = reader.GetInt32(reader.GetOrdinal("nodeid"));

Re: [Mono-list] System.InvalidOperationException: State != Open When trying to access MS SQL Sever Database?

[Daniel Morgan]

System.Data.OleDb requires libgda to work.  libgda only works on Linux with GNOME 2.0.  Also, OleDb is not actively maintained.
 
I suggest using the System.Data.SqlClient or System.Data.Odbc to connect to Microsoft SQL Server.  However for System.Data.Odbc, this will require ODBC and an ODBC driver for SQL Server.  On Windows, this should come with MDAC.  On Linux, use unixODBC and freetds or use iODBC and freetds.

[Mono-list] MonoDevelop in Mono Liux Intaller

[Daniel Morgan]

Hello,

I installed MonoDevelop on FC3 via the Mono Linux Installer.

MonoDevelop does not build nor run any projects it creates.  How can
this be corrected?

As of now, I have to go to the command-line and run the make.sh script
that MonoDevelop created.  This builds successfully, but in a different
directory named Build.  The built program does work in that directory
though.

I had some co-workers impressed by Mono even though MonoDevelop couldn't
compile/run.

Thanks,
Daniel

[Mono-list] Mono Linux Installer suggestions

[Daniel Morgan]

Works great on Fedora Core 3 Linux!  

It installs so easily just like the Windows installer.  You can not get
any easier than this.

However, here are issues I found with it so far. I do not know if these
have been reported yet or not:

1. gacutil -l 
  fails to run.  it can not find /usr/local/mono/gac

  It is correct about the directory not existing. Mono was installed to
my $HOME in directory mono-1.1.6 

2. xsp - when you run xsp out of the box, you could have it specify xsp
test pages.  This is what I have to do now.

  xsp --address 192.168.1.101 --port 8080 \
  --root $HOME/mono-1.1.6/share/doc/xsp/test

I figured this out only because I'm already familiar with xsp, but for
someone who is new - they may think it is broken - even though it is
not.

3. monodoc works nicely; however, trying to create new docs it fails for
me.

monodoc --update assembly.dll folder/
fails.  Or am I using monodoc incorrectly?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ monodoc --update
$HOME/mono-1.1.6/lib/mono/1.0/Mono.Data.SybaseClient.dll sybasedocs/

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not
set to an instance of an object
in <0x00043> Updater:GetName (System.Type t)

System.String ns, System.Int32 count)
in <0x000ae> Updater:Generate (System.String assembly)
in <0x00146> Updater:Main (System.String[] args)

I want to add docs for missing assemblies that are included with Mono.
