AW: [Mono-list] Please solve .exe s conflict?

[Jochen Wezel - CompuMaster GmbH]

Hi!
 
Yepp, I strongly agree with Atsushi. Many apps are already written in MS.NET 
framework technology and they should be able to run without changes on Linux, 
[EMAIL PROTECTED], etc. 

One example: Renaming the executables might lead to dead file links when a main 
program tries to start the executable of a sub application called sub.exe, 
because it wouldn't be there when you rename those files to .exe.mono.

So, if you want to start your executable with Mono and a nice picture, better 
create file links with normal windows technology with nice icons and reference 
to the desired mono instance.

Regards
Jochen

Hi,

 Please make future Windows instalers of mono register .mono files to 
 be open with the proper executor (mono.exe) and compilers compile as 
 standard to output of .exe.mono files!

It could be possible (only) when it is under Windows, but your suggestion 
contradicts one of our purpose i.e. have managed code (.exe and
.dll) runnable under Linux *as is*.

I agree on that. Let's not have .xyz on Windows and .exe on Windows.
.NET uses .exe/.dll so let's stick with that. Either way there is no
need to change (g)mcs to output a different file extension, you can do
that yourself using the rename command if you like.
 One example: Renaming the executables might lead to dead file links when a 
 main program tries to start the executable of a sub application called 
 sub.exe, because it wouldn't be there when you rename those files to 
 .exe.mono.
   

 if you want to start your executable with Mono and a nice picture, better 
 create file links with normal windows technology with nice icons and 
 reference to the desired mono instance.
   
 If you have a link or batch script for an application you're using then
that will work okay; but it seems you are worried about your own
application. There you can make sure that it can run with any extension
and create the necessary mapping yourself in the registry if you like.
If a user wants to connect it to another version of Mono simply have him
change the registry setting.

Regards,

Andreas
