Re: Mono 2.4.3 on Maemo
 

Hi Venemo,

you can find a .deb package here:

deb http://www.torosoft.com/mono-maemo5 fremantle binary

NOTE: THIS PACKAGES ARE NOT "OPTIFY" SO BE CAREFULL.
I hope that an optified version will be release as soon.

Unfortunally I not have a device where try they.

Cheers, Mk8.

This is great and will encourage windows developers to target the maemo platform. Definitely interesting!!!

Re: Mono 2.4.3 on Maemo
 

I test it on n900.
It works, but only in console, there no any bindings to GUI.
And there were some problem with instalation. In your repository there no mono-runtime in Packages. I instal it manually from it.

Great work!

Re: Mono 2.4.3 on Maemo
 

Oh, really System.Windows.Forms work!
But when I compile i do it so, for example:
mcs -r:System.Drawing -r:System.Windows.Forms programm.cs

And there must be dpkg-config installation!

What about Gtk, I can not find how install it, it dependes of broken package libxml-libxml-perl.

Sorry of my English, I have not got expirience enough :(

Re: Mono 2.4.3 on Maemo
 

Marvellous.
I was able to run a console app on it, and now I'm trying to get started with GTK#.

I have several problems with it, though.

First of all, why are the various parts of Mono are made as separate packages?
At least the core functionality should be provided as one package, but I would be glad to see the entire framework (not the developer tools, of course) to be in one package, to avoid unnecessary complexity.

And of course, it is a quite an old version of Mono, and it isn't optified, which is also bad.

Re: Mono 2.4.3 on Maemo
 

I can't install gtk# too, so I use Windows.Forms.

Re: Mono 2.4.3 on Maemo
 

Anything new with this?

Re: Mono 2.4.3 on Maemo
 

I'm interested in the current state of that project. Are there any news?

Re: Mono 2.4.3 on Maemo
 

I wanted to try the mono packages, but not all of the debs, like mono-runtime, are listet in my package manager? any idea what I have to do to make them appear, so that I can install them

Re: Mono 2.4.3 on Maemo
 

Well, I've sort of got Mono running on my N900. What I did was pulled down the mono-runtime deb file using wget:

wget http://www.torosoft.com/mono-maemo5/....3-1_armel.deb

Then I used

dpkg --install mono-runtime_2.4.3-1_armel.deb

to install it.

At this point, I then did an apt-get install for all of the libmono* files

Mono comes up and runs for me, but the application I'm testing relies on the some MySQL libraries that don't seem to be around, so my program blows up half way through.

For more on this check out
Building Virtual Worlds on the #N900

If anyone else is doing stuff with Mono, especially with MySQL and/or OpenSim, please let me know.

As an aside, I'm also curious about building ASP pages using Lighttpd. Anyone have any luck with that?
