[Mono-list] known problems with multi-processor Sparc platform?
We have a mono application which works fine for us on Solaris Sparc in house, but is causing a core dump from mono in the field. Our system is a Sparc 5, single processor system. Our customer has a huge 8-processor Sparc with 16G of RAM. Before I file a bug or anything, Im wondering if there are any know limitations with such a configuration. RAM 4G comes to mind, but I dont really know enough about the internals of how mono interfaces to the OS (Solaris in this case) to know whether or not I should expect it to work. We using 1.1.18 We can probably get away with not supporting some configurations if there are know problems that are unlikely to get fixed in this area. ___ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list

RE: [Mono-dev] Need testers for Mono's C# generics compiler.
Hi Miguel, I just tried it on our code base and everything compiles fine. Running unit tests now (on the code it produced), and haven't seen any issues yet. We have a good bit of generics in our code base and have submitted several gmcs bugs. All have been promptly addressed except 76440 for some reason. We have a workaround for it now, but it's a bit painful. FYI: I work for the Fanfare Group (Silicon Valley software startup) and we just released our flagship product FanfareSVT. A command line version that runs on Mono is due out very soon. This test case automation software targeted (for the moment) at testing products with a command line oriented interface (i.e. network boxes, etc) and we've been building all but the GUI components in both Mono and .NET.

[Mono-dev] building for Mono under msbuild
I have an application that needs to run under both .NET and Mono and I came up with a pretty simple way to get MS DevStudio to build both. I dont know how others have solved this problem, but I thought I would offer it up in case it helps someone else with the same issue. The basic approach I took was to call the Mono compiler after the Microsoft build has already run. Microsoft has a well known target AfterBuild which I have hooked to invoke gmcs with pretty much the same arguments that csc.exe takes with some minor modifications. I put all the Mono build stuff in a file called Mono.targets, so it only take a one line addition to the standard *.csproj file to get the functionality: Import Project=$(MSBuildBinPath)\Microsoft.CSharp.targets / Add this line Import Project=your path\Mono.targets / This will make your build essentially a dual pass build with all the Microsoft stuff running and then the Mono compiler running with all the warnings and erros showing up in the IDE as you would expect. The work is not complete (I dont pass all the options possible, etc), but I think its fairly obvious how to expand it if needed. Im sure there are many other ways to skin this cat, but for a quick and dirty solution, it seems to work pretty well.

Its an MSBuild Transform that will resolve to a bunch of /reference arguments to gmcs.

Thanks.
This was working like a champ for me (I edited the config file to use
2.0 first). The code below works fine in 2.0 if compile as a console
application (no NUnit), but if invoked via nunit-console, it depends on
the ordering of the lines in my config file. With the config file
modified to use 2.0 first it crashes, but with the original config file
(1.1) it is fine. Unfortunately the code I really need to test has this
Dns stuff as well as classes that use Generics... so I'm stuck for now.

Subject: Re: [Mono-list] NUnit support for generics?
I had the same problem and created a patch some time ago:
http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-devel-list/2005-September/014598.
html
Unfortunately there is some design issue I was not able to solve - we
would need to mark nunit dll with different version for 1.0 and 2.0
profiles in order to put it into GAC. Otherwise during installation
they are put into the same place and one version overwrites the other
(note that this is just a design issue, the nunit-console still works
with mixed version assemblies).
You can make nunit-console usable on 2.0 using one of the steps:
- delete nunit-console.exe.config files, compile your test dlls by
referencing exact path of 1.0 installed dlls
or
- apply my patch and watch it working
or
- just edit config file to use 2.0 first and reference exact patch of
dlls
Anyone have idea how to make the issue solved in an elegant way and
ideally make the solution acceptable by nunit.org people?
2005/9/15, Andy Waddell [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I've been trying to use the nunit.framework and nunit_console.exe to
do some
unit testing on code that contains generics (and was therefore compile
with
gmcs). I'm getting the feeling that this is not supported. First
off, I
noticed that gmcs can't find the nunit assembly when
-reference:nunit.framework is on the compile line (while mcs can). I
forced
the issue there by putting the fully qualified path to the dll on the
compile line, but when I run nunit_console.exe to test some simple
code
(that happens to use generics), it always bombs out. I write my own
main()
to invoke the methods, it works
[Mono-dev] questions regarding contributing
Hi all.
I work at a start up here in Silicon
Valley (http://www.fnfr.com) and
Im tasked with getting a subset of our application to run on Mono.
Its all being coded in C# using MS Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 and the
development team is coding to the 2.0 .NET and making full use of generics, etc.
I have an environment set up on Linux with anonymous SVN access so that I can
stay current. So far, Ive managed to get most of the code I need
to compile (using gmcs) and my next task will be to get the unit tests up and running
in some form so that I can verify the runtime behavior.
The first set of issues I ran into were pieces of the class
library not yet in the Mono base, but in the Beta 2 version of .NET 2.0. In
each case Ive either worked around it in our code by substituting from
the 1.0 Framework or gone into my local copy of the Mono code and added what we
needed. I dont have write access to SVN, so my changes are local
for now, but Id be more that happy to contribute them (and our management
is supportive of this). So far my additions have been limited to a few
trivial items. For example, System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlParameterCollection.AddWithValue
is a new method in 2.0 that was being used in several places in our code
base. I got past this by adding:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] awaddell]$ cd
src/mcs/class/System.Data/System.Data.SqlClient
[EMAIL PROTECTED] System.Data.SqlClient]$ svn diff
SqlParameterCollection.cs

}
+

#if NET_2_0
override
[EMAIL PROTECTED] System.Data.SqlClient]$
Ive done 4 or 5 other little ones like this, but Im
not sure what the policy is regarding the .NET Framework version 2.0
stuff. Given that the code in Beta 2 is subject to change, is there a
hesitancy to apply all the stuff in Beta 2 to the Mono code base or is it just
the case that nobody has gotten around to it? If its the latter,
maybe we can help. Should I request write access to SVN or since my changes
are so small, just post them to this (or some other) list? Is there a definitive
place to check the status of whats done and whats not (other than
the source code)?
I have some other questions, but this is getting to be a
long post already. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

[Mono-dev] questions regarding contributing
Sorry if this message get duplicated, but Im
having some trouble posting it.
Hi all.
I work at a start up here in Silicon
Valley (http://www.fnfr.com)
and Im tasked with getting a subset of our application to run on
Mono. Its all being coded in C# using MS Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2
and the development team is coding to the 2.0 .NET and making full use of
generics, etc. I have an environment set up on Linux with anonymous SVN
access so that I can stay current. So far, Ive managed to get most
of the code I need to compile (using gmcs) and my next task will be to get the
unit tests up and running in some form so that I can verify the runtime
behavior.
The first set of issues I ran into were pieces of the class
library not yet in the Mono base, but in the Beta 2 version of .NET 2.0.
In each case Ive either worked around it in our code by substituting
from the 1.0 Framework or gone into my local copy of the Mono code and added
what we needed. I dont have write access to SVN, so my changes are
local for now, but Id be more that happy to contribute them (and our
management is supportive of this). So far my additions have been limited
to a few trivial items. For example,
System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlParameterCollection.AddWithValue is a new method in 2.0
that was being used in several places in our code base. I got past this
by adding:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] awaddell]$ cd
src/mcs/class/System.Data/System.Data.SqlClient
[EMAIL PROTECTED] System.Data.SqlClient]$ svn diff
SqlParameterCollection.cs

Ive done 4 or 5 other little ones like this, but
Im not sure what the policy is regarding the .NET Framework version 2.0
stuff. Given that the code in Beta 2 is subject to change, is there a
hesitancy to apply all the stuff in Beta 2 to the Mono code base or is it just
the case that nobody has gotten around to it? If its the latter,
maybe we can help. Should I request write access to SVN or since my
changes are so small, just post them to this (or some other) list? Is
there a definitive place to check the status of whats done and
whats not (other than the source code)?
I have some other questions, but this is getting to be a
long post already. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

[Mono-list] NUnit support for generics?
Ive been trying to use the nunit.framework and nunit_console.exe to do some unit testing on code that contains generics (and was therefore compile with gmcs). Im getting the feeling that this is not supported. First off, I noticed that gmcs cant find the nunit assembly when reference:nunit.framework is on the compile line (while mcs can). I forced the issue there by putting the fully qualified path to the dll on the compile line, but when I run nunit_console.exe to test some simple code (that happens to use generics), it always bombs out. I write my own main() to invoke the methods, it works fine. Can anyone shed some light on this issue? --andy ___ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
