Hi, mono-basic does not depend on already having a compiler in order to compile (the git repository contains a bootstrapping compiler). On a Linux system all you need is having Mono installed already and run 'make' from the command-line; on Windows you can compile the solution using Visual Studio.
The compiler itself is located in the vbnc/vbnc directory: https://github.com/mono/mono-basic/tree/master/vbnc/vbnc Best regards, Rolf On Mon, Apr 13, 2015 at 7:22 PM, Lonnie Cumberland < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi Rolf, > > Thanks for your reply and I am sorry for the delay in getting back to you. > > Actually, I want to play around with the mono-basic source code to see if > I can get it to compile so that I can learn more about how it works. > > I would like to get a pre-compiled version of mono vbnc to see if I can > compile the sources after which I would like work with the code a bit and > see if I can improve it some as it would make a good scripting language for > general purposes as well and would like to see if it can be made into a > standalone version. > > Mostly this is an initial learning exercise.
