- does it work under Mono? No, not directly but practically for the short-term Windows is requires for the SciPy piece. NumPy is quite cross-platform and uses the very cross-platform NumPy core (C code), a little bit of C++ code, and a bunch of C#. I haven't tried building it on Mono recently but aside from getting the builds to work there shouldn't be a lot of work. It does require .NET 4 so likely Mono 2.10 will be a requirement. SciPy is more restrictive because it relies on C++/CLI which is not supported on Mono. The reason is that we are using the Cython tool to generate interfaces for CPython and IronPython from a single source. Unfortunately because Cython allows users to import arbitrary C header files, C++/CLI was the only practical option for the time being. - can IronRuby etc take advantage of these libraries? > Probably, at least some of the functionality. The interface is straight .NET so C#, F# and other languages can make use of the NumPy ndarray object and other objects. The biggest limitation is that a fair amount of the functionality is implemented in Python so it is necessary to evaluate Python expressions to make use of it. This is straightforward from C# or F# and I am assuming it can be done from IronRuby, but that's just a guess. > I tried to run the build the process with xbuild rather than msbuild, > but it looks like System.Numerics might not be implemented in Mono? > I was able to add a reference to System.Numerics and open it under Mono 2.10 and I thought it was part of 2.8 but I may be mistaken.
