IPCE users,
Just getting started with IPCE and wondering about the current state of
things. I'm trying to get started with some Windows.Forms testing, and
wanted to use the most modern version which is stable. I'm using IPCE-r7
under Fedora 8. Here's my setup, followed by some issues:
$ mono --version
Mono JIT compiler version 1.2.5.1 (tarball)
Copyright (C) 2002-2007 Novell, Inc and Contributors. www.mono-project.com
TLS: __thread
GC: Included Boehm (with typed GC)
SIGSEGV: normal
Architecture: x86
Disabled: none
$ pwd
/home/dblank/fepy/IPCE/IronPython-2.0A7/Tutorial
$ mono ~/Desktop/IPCE-r7/ipy2/ipy.exe
IronPython console: IronPython 2.0A5 (2.0.11011.00) on .NET 2.0.50727.42

>>>
1) I can't seem to import random:
>>> import random
** ERROR **: file mini.c: line 3897 (mono_method_to_ir): assertion failed:
(!sig->has_type_parameters)
aborting...
Stacktrace:

(Microsoft.Scripting.Actions.DynamicAction,Microsoft.Scripting.CodeContext,object[])
<0xffffffff>
...
This works with IPCE-r7/ipy/ipy.exe. Do I need a more modern mono? Or is
there another issue?
2) I'd use 1.1, but it doesn't seem to load Windows.Forms:
$ mono ~/Desktop/IPCE-r7/ipy/ipy.exe
IronPython 1.1 (1.1) on .NET 2.0.50727.42

>>> import clr
>>> clr.AddReference('System.Windows.Forms')
>>> from System.Windows.Forms import Application, Button, Form
>>> form = Form()
Traceback (most recent call last):

SystemError: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for
System.Windows.Forms.Form
3. I tried to build from svn sources, but the build.sh looks unmaintained:
a. it stopped due to missing ../website/license.html (I made one)
b. python-irclib-0.4.6.tar.gz was missing (I downloaded it)
4. If there is a README (or a wiki) for IPCE I would read it... and even
contribute to it!
Any pointers appreciated!
