Hello all

I'm very excited about mono and would love to start developing some

using gentoo's portage system), and I've done a simple "hello world"

I'd like to know how to get started building simple GTK# apps (such as

The gentoo packages are pretty outdated last time I checked, if that's
still the case you should compile the latest mono package yourself.

For a book, I recommend "Inside C#" by Tom Archer, in addition to
being excellent for learning C# and .NET, it also dives a little into
MSIL so you get a better understanding of how things work under the
hood.  MSDN is also a great resource once you have a solid understand
of .NET's basics.

I use VS.NET for an IDE, but SharpDevelop is an good alternative and I
hear MonoDevelop (based on Sharp) is getting better.

The short answer is that you don't worry about the install order.  Let
RPM worry about that. :-)

In principal, you should be able to do this:

$ rpm -ivh *.rpm

In practice, you might not be able to, as you might be missing required
packages.  For example, when I did this with the beta 1 take-3 packages,
RPM gave me errors for gtk-sharp-gapi, as I was missing a bunch of
perl-XML-* packages (which I see you have, but I didn't).  I wasn't
interested in installing all those packages, which brings us to an
alternative setup:

# Get an editable list of all the RPMs
$ ls -1 *.rpm > rpms.txt
# edit rpms.txt to include only the RPMs that are easily 
# installable
$ rpm -ivh `cat rpms.txt`

The backtick (`) operator, not to be confused with a normal single quote
(it's the key to the left of `1'), executes the command within the
backticks, and substitutes the command's standard output in-place.  This
allows us to easily trim down the set of packages to install, so that
you minimize the extra packages you require.

Some of the required packages aren't part of mono.  For example,
glib2-devel may be required for some of the packages.  You'll have to
manually install such external dependencies.

If the RPMs you downloaded are for you distribution, that should be it. 
Edit "rpms.txt" to include the packages you want, use `rpm -i', and
you're done.

If the RPMs aren't for your distribution, it may be impossible or you
may need to do more work.  (For example, I installed the Red Hat 9 RPMs
on Fedora Core 2 Test 2, and they weren't a complete match.)  `rpm
--nodeps' can be your friend.  (FC2T2 has a "gtkhtml3" package
installed, but gtk-sharp wanted "gtkhtml3.0", even though they appear to
be the same.  I just installed gtk-sharp with --nodeps to permit
installation.)

I am using Red Carpet, and it's great.   The only issue I have is that some 
dll's don't seem to be included and mono develop isn't included, and I can't 
seem to build it.

I'm hoping that the upcoming releases will have more of the dll's, and that 
I'll be able to build mono develop.

Hello All,

Red Carpet seems to be the favorite mode of installing mono.
However I have two questions

1. Will it work on Mandrake / Red Hat? (If not, is there an equivalent of
redcarpet on these flavors).
2.  Is it free?

Is a bad idea.  

For future reference, the "right" thing to do here would be to take the
experiences your having right now trying to get mono to work for you,
and writing them down.  Use that as a starting point for a better
installation process, and submit that back to the project.  Take a stab
at using what you learn to rebuild the documents you refer to above.

You get what you give, my friend. :)

For what it's worth, the final part of your rant is easily resolved: try
installing the dependencies.  Or use a utility like apt, yum, or Red
Carpet to resolve them for you automatically.

I hear you.  Probably not in the same message as a request for aid, but

Red Carpet.  Please, for the love of $DEITY, start with Red Carpet.

If your distro isn't supported, get one that is.  It will greatly
simplify life (both yours and ours), and will automagically handle RPM
dependency tracking, which would immediately solve the problems you
elude to below...

At one point, the Mono Handbook would have been the "Mono Newbies"
resource.  Alas, the Handbook has become stale, though there is an
effort to bring it up to date.

This has been noted on multiple occasions.  Last I knew, someone had
volunteered to re-write the site, but that was over a month ago and I
haven't heard anything since.

This is why you use Red Carpet.  Or Apt.  Or Yum.  Or Up2date.  Or any
number of other existing package management programs.  You shouldn't be
manually dealing with packages anymore, not when virtually every distro
includes such tools by default.  They will find and install all required
dependencies for you, thus promoting the "really advanced" feelings. :-)

without wishing to start an argument (and as someone who has just gone through
this exercise) not every linux machine is connected to the internet so Red
Carpet etc do not work!

For security reasons, virus protection etc (particularly in govt) these sort of
machines are not connected to much at all (in fact my test machine is only
accessible by ftp).

PS not everyone has braodband access either

I was trying to offer constructive criticism and maybe generate some 
discussion that might lead to an improvement to the website.  At this point, 
this is all I have to offer.  I took into consideration that it was very 
possible that the people in charge of the website may not be aware that the 
website lacks focus.  Therefore, I was just trying to bring the problem to 
their attention.

I am using Mandrake 10 right now.  I've heard of Red Carpet.  But, I haven't 
ever used it.  I'll take a look at it.  But, this begs the question, "If Red 
Carpet is the preferred way to install Mono, why isn't there a big fat link 
saying 'Start Here if you want to try Mono' on the front of the mono home 
page pointing to the Red Carpet tools with directions on how to install 
mono?"

This is true.

I have read some of the responses, and they basically went something like: Get 
RedCarpet, if your distribution is not supported -> switch to something else.

Now, I try to keep up-to-date on different distributions and have found 
Mandrake to be the best (running 10.0 like you are). I would not switch.

Mandrake has package magement built in, and it supports automatic resolving 
dependencies (like RedCarpet). The mono packages are also available as 
Mandrake Cooker packages.

Here is how you can install mono:

After finding a mirror of your liking you can add the mirror as a software 
source using "Media Manager" under "Software Management" in the Mandrake 
Linux Control Center (Configure your computer). If you are a Mandrake Club 
member adding software sources is made easy by using the Mandrake Club 
web-site. On the web-site you can lookup mirrors. When you select a mirror 
you are shown a command for adding your mirror to the Media Manager. If you 
are not a Mandrake Club member you will have to find a mirror manually. After 
adding the mirror as a software source you should be able to use "Install" 
under "Software Management" to search for and install mono, including 
dependencies.

Best of luck to you!

Hi,
this is the right one:

using System;

class Hello {
public static void Main() {
Console.WriteLine( "Hello, World!" );
}
}

First of all: Main method must return a valid type (void); then the
method writeln is not present inside the Console class

Bye

Thanks for your help Salvatore.  hello.cs now looks like:

// Hello World! : hello.cs

using System;

class Hello {
    public static void Main() {
    Console.WriteLine( "Hello, World!" );
    }
}

Unfortunately, I still receive the same compile error:

# mcs hello.cs
hello.cs(3,13): error CS8025: Parsing error
Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings

Any thoughts?

Cheers!

Hello,

To clear things up, you can create cross-platform apps by still using Visual
Studio.
But if you want to move to a cross-platform IDE, then MonoDevelop is what
you're looking for.

Look around the Mono site for more info.

you might try to open a terminal and enter the command:

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Re: [Mono-list] Getting started with Clutter

2009-11-22 Thread daniel
Well, seeing as I so far have no reply, can I take that to mean that no 
one uses it, and therefore know one has any advice to give concerning it.

I see that the mono page points to a SVN repository for it, however if 
you look closely at the code it comes with the following warning:

Clutter and all of the related modules have migrated to a git
repository. This SVN repository is now read only and will no longer be
updated.
Please clone the git repository instead by typing:
  git clone git://git.clutter-project.org/clutter
There is also a web interface to it here:

I haven't tried it yet, But before I waste to much time on it I would 
like to know if it actually works.

As far as I can tell it is not in synaptic, however there are python 
bindings, and javascript bindings.
