So I've been playing with vNext and mono, and I was wondering around the
library support.
Microsoft have said that they will be adding mono to their test matrix.
However, they haven't (from what I can tell) gone as far as saying what
exactly they will be testing i.e. is it just the kre/kpm/etc, or are they
doing it for the packages too?[...]
So the question is, are packages on nuget from microsoft going to have
mono
versions?
I have been testing it as well and so far it has all worked great for me on
Ubuntu and CentOS 6.4.
Just held talk on Zagreb MSCommunity Future Dev UG about Xamarin 3 and
because one student asked me to hold Xamarin.Forms I did everything else
with emphasis on core mono and the best sample was ASP.ne[x]t
Suse, Centos, Ubuntu worked like charm, like Windows 8.1 demo, only
Debian had problems that kpm did not work that well. I had no unzip
installed and error was really hidden.
Even managed to make more complex samples to work BugTracker worked, but
not MusicStore. Mostly package manager problems.
So main things to be careful:
1. certificates
CERTMGR=/usr/local/bin/certmgr
sudo $CERTMGR -ssl -m https://go.microsoft.com
sudo $CERTMGR -ssl -m https://nugetgallery.blob.core.windows.net
sudo $CERTMGR -ssl -m https://nuget.org
sudo $CERTMGR -ssl -m https://www.myget.org/F/aspnetvnext/
mozroots --import --sync
added this one: https://www.myget.org/F/aspnetvnext/
2. LD_LIBRARY_PATH
weird exceptions about invalid package format, or wrong certificate
environment variable must point to $MONO_PREFIX/lib, where
$MONO_PREFIX is prefix for mono compilation
TODO: how and where to put it during startup
3. kpm restore
try (even on windows)- kpm restore -s
https://www.myget.org/F/aspnetvnext/
I guess this is it.
My guess is that Microsoft will product a Mono specific K Runtime (that is
what they are doing now). I believe their goal will be to (wherever
possible) ensure that the packages they build on top work equally well on
both the Windows and Mono versions of the runtime. Currently, the version of
K Runtime has Mono in the name while the packages display generic build
numbers that look the same as what was seen in the Tech Ed demos on Windows.
It works almost 1:1.
What I would expect is that Microsoft submit patches back to Mono trunk
required to make one set of packages possible.
Time will tell though. The current work is not identical on the two
platforms. For example, the UseWelcomePage call shown in some of the early
tutorials does not exist on Mono.
OK. I was not that deep.
I'll try to make MusicStore and BugTracke work first.
