A lot of you have been asking for an SDK to simplify development of moonlight/silverlight applications using monodevelop over the last few weeks and months and we've finally got a release ready! It's mostly thanks to Andrew Jorgensen and I just finished off the last few things over the last couple of weeks.
Right now the only distro with packages is opensuse 11.4. This is purely because it is what I use myself and I could set it up pretty easily. It's only a couple of clicks to generate opensuse 11.3 packages which I should get around to tomorrow. You'll also need a MonoDevelop newer than 2.6 beta 2. As such, you'll need a trunk build until beta 3 is released. All you have to do is install the newer monodevelop and the various moonlight packages in my opensuse build service project repository (install nothing else from it!) and you'll be good to go. I'd appreciate any testing/feedback over the next days/weeks to iron out any issues with both the SDK and MonoDevelop integration so we can have a rock solid MonoDevelop 2.6 experience. It'd also be great if packagers for other distros could start the ball rolling to generate moonlight 4 packages and SDKs for their distros! So the quick 5 step guide is: 1) Install MonoDevelop trunk (or build from git): http://monodevelop.com/Download/Trunk_Builds 2) Install moonlight-web-devel http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/home:alan_mcgovern/openSUSE_11.4/moonlight-web-devel.ymp?base=openSUSE%3A11.4&query=moonlight 3) Launch the new monodevelop and create a moonlight project 4) Ensure it's targeting moonlight 4.0 in the project settings (this may not yet be selected by default) 5) Hit F5 to build and run :) Note: If installing moonlight-web-devel does not pull in the correct moonlight dependencies, could you try installing the other moonlight packages from the repository one by one until the issue is fixed. Then let me know what one you needed :) I'll be running through this exact set of instructions tomorrow with the new SDK in a new VM to ensure everything is correct. For now, test and let me know if it's not! Alan _______________________________________________ Moonlight-list mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/moonlight-list
