RE: [Mono-list] Beginner C# Book
I have two recommendations, Mono Kickstart (Sams) and Beginning Visual C# (Wrox). I know the second book is written for Windows and Visual Studio, but it really covers the C# language and syntax well. I tried learning ASP.NET first and had to go back and learn C# before it made any sense. I just picked up Mono: A Developers Notebook, but haven't started reading it yet. I'm currently reading ASP.NET Website Programming (Wrox), which, again, is another Windows / Visual Studio book. I'm trying to keep up with Mono at the same time. I've moved some C# ASP.NET code from Windows to Linux and it runs exactly the same on both platforms. The code I'm using reads and writes XML files. It's the BLOG example at the end of the Beginning Visual C# book, so that should tell you why I'm recommending a Windows-centric book for learning C# on any platform. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:mono-list- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom McLaughlin > Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 2004 9:51 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Mono-list] Beginner C# Book > > Thanks to everyone who responded, I got a lot of great suggestions.

Thanks to everyone who responded, I got a lot of great suggestions. I ended up grabbing "Learning C#" from O'Reilly. It's starting me off with the basics and it's not overly long so I can decide what direction I want to go once I'm done with it. Thanks a bunch.

[Mono-list] Cannot "make install" mono-1.0.1 on OSX because of libicui18n.dylib.28
I am trying to get mono-1.0.1 + gtk# installed on OSX and hitting all
kinds of problems.
I didn't realize that I *could* have probably gotten this to work by
just installing the mono-1.0.1 binary for OSX, but now when I try to do
that, I hit conflicts with libraries that I haven't been able to clear
up from my source build of mono.
In any case, I've built and installed icu-2.8 with --prefix=/sw/local.
That put a bunch of libs in /sw/local/lib (libicui18n.dylib.28 being
one of these).
I then ran ./configure --prefix=/sw/local for the mono-1.0.1 source.
It configured and compiled as far as I can tell without any errors.
But, when I try to do a "make install", I hit a strange problem that I
cannot figure out why it can't see libicui18n.dylib.28. Here's what
happens:
Making install in net_1_1

Duncan Mak said the following on 24/08/2004 19.58: Hello all, Hello Duncan, Is Mono too difficult to install for people new to Linux? For people with Linux experience? I'm new to Linux and, yes, it is hard. It was hard installing a clean SuSE box, it's still hard work with the new environment (I come, obviously, from Win) for a thousand reasons and, finally, it is hard to install and configure Mono. I feel myself a skilled user, as a programmer but under Linux I find myseld kinda lost :! I believe the hardest thing about Mono is correctly configure mod_mono, apache & co. As you said, many developers are trying to move to Mono and so, to Linux. Probably good tutes about the prerequisites would help (eg: I didn't know nothing about "make + make install" before swimming around the Net, and that's like breath for a normal Linux user).. don't know, something like driving directions for the first weeks :) .. or just "for Windows users FAQ", where a Win user can find how to work with basic settings (also an environment variable could cost us half a day trying to understand).

(How hard could it be to type "yum install mono"?) My problems with the install are all related to broken/unsatisfied/missing dependencies. Do you think switching back to a two package setup is a good idea? If it cuts down on the dependency related issues, sure! But I still prefer the yum repositories mainly because I install my other software using it. Since I install everything anyway, it really doesn't make any difference to me if two packages or thirty packages are installed.

[Mono-list] How hard is it to install Mono?
Hello all, We are in the process of re-evaluating the way we package Mono, in doing so, I'd like to get some feedback from you all. When we entered the 1.0 beta cycle, we split the previous setup of two packages (mono, mono-devel) into smaller packages, believing that it will provide greater flexibility for users, who may wish to selectively install only certain parts of the whole release. We received a lot of feedback from this change: some said that it was a bad decision, as it made the installation process more complicated; others said it worked great for them for it fit their use case more closely. During the 1.0 beta cycle, the package dependency listing was hand written and buggy. That was the source of a lot of broken, incomplete installations reported [1]; later in the beta cycle, we switched to using a script that calculates dependencies based on assembly references. With that, our current set of packages is a lot less buggy now [2]. To further facilitate end-users, two meta packages were created: 'mono-complete' and 'mono-complete-devel'. Installing these packages requires installing every package we ship. Effectively, this mimics the old 'mono' and 'mono-devel' package. We made available 'mono-all' zip files on the download page, containing all the packages we ship for that particular release. On top of downloading packages from the download page, there are two additional ways of installing Mono: either through the 'mono' channel on Red Carpet, or with our YUM repository for Fedora users. Both mechanisms will resolve dependencies problems for you. Some questions: How do you install Mono right now? What do you do to upgrade? Is Mono too difficult to install for people new to Linux? For people with Linux experience? Do you think switching back to a two package setup is a good idea? A lot of Mono users are new to Linux, and it is evident that the installation procedure for Windows (Paco's excellent installer) and Mac OS X (the dmg image from Adam) is far simpler than the various mechanisms available on Linux. We like to make the installation experience on Linux as simple as the others as well. Thanks so much! Duncan. [1] e.g. mono-web-services requires mono-web-forms, but the dependency was not encoded in the RPM. [2] Frequently the mono-preview package gets installed in place of other packages, resulting in broken installations.

What I meant is maybe Robert can paste the lines that he added to his httpd.conf file from his mono-server-hosts.conf file into this list so we can see what he has.

[Mono-list] Xsp error
If this is shown to be a bug, I will happily raise a report in bugzilla, but I think it is more likely that I have a problem with configuration. I am installing mono on a SPARC running solaris 8. The version being installed is the full set downloaded as mono reached version 1. I have got round a number of problems so far, including the lack of aintl, the lack of /dev/random and various other niggles. I have a working "Hello World" running from the command line. XSP is compiled and installed, and starts up without any visible problems. On startup, the following is seen in the console :- bash-2.03# mono /usr/bin/xsp.exe --root /export/home/cdimages/mono_1/xsp-1.0/test/ Adding applications '/:.'...

[Mono-list] File(s) not found?
I have Apache 1.3.31 running the latest mono module and I'm finding some strange behavior. When the module is not loaded. Apache behaves as expected. However, when I restart httpd with the following in httpd.conf: # LoadModule mono_module libexec/apache/libmod_mono.so AddModule mod_mono.c MonoApplications "/:/home/www/.www" MonoApplications "/test/eastgate:/home/www/.www/test/eastgate" SetHandler mono DirectoryIndex index.aspx default.aspx index.html default.html index.htm default.htm # then the server gives me a 404 error for every document I attept to load. I can get directory listings showing me the files, but any file requested by the browser (tested so far with .html, .aspx, .jpg, .txt) results in a 404 error. Am I missing something? Has anyone seen this before? I'd really appreciate any help I can get, thank you. David P.

The fact that it works from the command line and not as a webservice
would indicate that you probably have ODBC setup as user DSN rather than
a system one - you need to create the DSN in the /etc/odbc.ini (or
wherever that is on your system) rather than in ~/.odbc.ini . If you
have already done this then it could be that the user your apache runs
as cannot read the /etc/odbc.ini

Re: [Mono-list] threads and Async Socket methods
So has there been any progress on this issue? I'm running mono on Fedora core (2.6.x kernel) and I find that after 25 or more connections that my BeginRecieve calls occupy all the threads in the pool and the server grinds to a halt (although, I've found out that sending random ping messages does help to lubricate the recievers.). It works fine on .Net of course, 200+ connections and no blocking, but on mono we're outta luck. I'll probably just write an alternative code path for mono - at least for the moment.
