We have a pretty big set of .NET solutions/projects that we would like to build in the latest Mono and get running on Linux/OSX. They consist of C#, VB.NET, and one small C++ project that does some native Windows interfacing. At this point it's about .25 million lines of code. Is there a utility somewhere that can create a Mono "make" compatible environment: generate makefiles, etc? I'm assuming we may have to rip the C++ features out of the code to get a Mono version going at first (it's only a small subset).
Once we get the ball rolling with this project we'll probably be contributing quite a few fixes back to Mono and maybe some features. We have a large test suite that utilizes quite a bit of the .NET Framework and VB.NET. Do you guys have a good example of an architecture for building cross platform .NET code, with respect to utilizing each platform's unmanaged strengths where possible (like Windows or OSX specific APIs, for example)? We're also interested in investigating the .NET 2.0 compatible branch of Mono. Does anyone have any comments on its stability at this point? I couldn't find this on the web site.
