Mono-C#

[bronxbomber92]

Has anyone been able to install this? Or dotGNU? If so, is it worth the time? Or would it be better to just dual-boot and use the .NET framework on windows?

Thanks

It installs just fine. "Worth the time"? It takes very little time, so yes, it's worth it. If you think it's a drop-in replacement for .NET on Windows though, you're likely to be unhappily surprised...

Hm, becuase I cannot seem to get it installed :(

Mainly gtk#...

[bronxbomber92]

OK, I have no idea how to install this (I really need help with gtk#)

Can anyone help me? Thanks

for 2 minutes of googling: http://www.mono-project.com/Mono:OSX#Installing_Gtk.23_on_MacOS_X_10.3

I've used that.

Fisrt problem - I don't knoe how to check if I have it installed (I've tried to scan my compute)

Second problem - They don't tell you how to compile gtk#. I tried the instructions when yu download it, but I get the error: You need to have mono installed... Which I do

Third problem - Even if I could compile, I don't know how to do: "stall Gtk# from source to the prefix /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current (You will need to set the following environment variables: PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/sw/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig:/Library/"

Sorry for being a pest, but I always have problems instaling libraries and anything else similiar...

Thanks, again :)

Have you considered DarwinPorts (http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/)? That will probably "just work".

[bronxbomber92]

Thanks, I'll take a look at it :)

Edit - Hmm, I ran the installer, went to terminal, tried "sudo port install mono (without quotes) and it said the command was not found >_>

[OneSadCookie]

Of course it did. The README file explains this.

Ok, I have finally been able to setup Mono and cocoa#! :)

But I am having many problems with gtk#, Has anyone been able to install gtk#? If so, would you mind helping me?

I'll let you know headway, but I'm working on it too. I've been wanting to get into trying out Mono and C# (mainly for the eventual attempt at using XNA, or Mono.Xna if it gets to a stable point, to make games). Gtk# has been giving me problems, but like you I have Cocoa# working just fine. I'll post back if I figure out a good method of getting everything set up.

[bronxbomber92]

All right, thanks :)

Yeah, cocoa# would be great, if I actually knew the cocoa API... :/
There is very little documentation for cocoa# but a lot more for gtk#, that is why I want to set it up

I'm also pleased to here there is a mono version of XNA is the works! im looking forward to it :)
