Re: [arch-general] What's with F# and mono?
I found out that the F# Language Binding is available in the monodevelop add-ins repository, but not for the version of Mono Develop that is in the Arch Repos. If you manually search for the F# language bindings here [1], you will find it but are unable to download it. I installed Xamarin Studio on a Windows 7 machine and after hitting refresh on the Gallery tab, the language binding show up. I don't think this problem is the Arch package, but a bug in the monodevelop add-in repositories. [1] http://addins.monodevelop.com/ -- Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift.

I did find this [1], but the compile fails when I try it. Let me know if you get it working. [1] https://github.com/fsharp/fsharpbinding -- Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery.

[arch-general] What's with F# and mono?
I'm just starting to dip my toes in the mono waters. Slightly prompted by my current situation at work. In particular I'm interested in F#, but I'm finding the whole situation around mono/monodevelop + F# a bit confusing. 1. There are indications online that mono ships with F# [^1][^2]. But the mono package in Arch doesn't include F#. Looking at the sources used to build the mono package there is no F# in sight. Was it ever there? 2. The package on AUR[^3] for fsharp is rather outdated. Not such a big problem, the building received a lot of TLC so the package is extremely simple to bring up-to-date. 3. Is there an F# add-in for monodevelop? There seems to have been one back in 2010, but it's not distributed any more, [^4]. However, other places say there is an add-in available, [^5] (however, downloading fails). So, can anyone help me get a clearer picture of F# on mono (and ArchLinux)? /M [^1]: http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2010/Nov-11.html - talking of plans to include F# in mono. [^2]: http://is.gd/cNC5xb- - "F# is included in the standard Mono release, but it's still missing from the MonoDevelop IDE."
