mono (not any CLR, but mono specifically) pkg-config gtk-sharp gnome-sharp gconf-sharp gtkhtml-sharp gecko-sharp gtksourceview-sharp (these are off the top of my head) > 2. what parts of MonoDevelop could be modified or removed to allow it to > be built and run on Windows? gconf-sharp would have to be replaced, however it is used *very* sparingly, and could easily be extracted out. gtkhtml-sharp is used to display the integrated documentation. This is something that could be removed, or something that could be ported. Because evo is being ported, and that uses gtkhtml3, i would recommend looking into that. gecko-sharp is barely used honestly. And even though we *could* remove it, we would end up adding it back eventually for asp.net support. However, to bootstrap the effort, I would recommend just removing it. Although, paco and zbowling have had some success making it work on win32 (I have used gecko-sharp on win32 before myself) gnome-sharp is used for a couple widgets. Most likely, it could be abstracted pretty easily. gtksourceview-sharp is insanely important (obviously). This is something that would have to be ported to run on win32. As far as the mono + pkg-config deps. I would recommend working initially with them, but as time goes on, it would be very nice to see MD work on a pure .NET setup w/o mono at all. > 3. who would be interested in heading this up? Not me :) I am interested in helping out as much as I can, and offering some guidance, but I don't have time to lead such an effort. --Todd _______________________________________________ Gtk-sharp-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/gtk-sharp-list
