Hi forum :-) I know, this has been asked before:

Can I run the generated code under mono? And does the runtime assemblies run under mono?

I dare to ask this again, because since the last mono question its been months ago.

I know that Frans said that mono is rather non-existent and that you better take java (for non-ms-plattforms). But still, I would like to use mono on the server and I'd like to use as many features from llblgen as possible.

Are there any test which features you can use on mono?

Thank you very much. Ben

Customers have access to the runtime libs, so they can try to build them on mono simple_smile In general that should work out correctly, and then you can try to run the code on mono. Last time I tried was a long time ago (mono was still in beta back then IIRC), and the XML / serialization stuff in mono crashed but the rest did work. I'd say, give it a shot simple_smile . Suggestion for building the runtime libs on mono: copy the nmake build files for .net in the runtime lib source folder to create one for mono. Older archives still had a mono build file though that one is out of date (it can be used, but the sources variable has to be updated with all the files)

Thanks Patrick

Patrick,

You may want to check the page I've set up at http://www.ssgx.com/llblgenpro/, specifically the page http://www.ssgx.com/llblgenpro/LLBLGen_Pro_on_Mono regarding LLBLGen on Mono.

Any participation (help testing, reporting Mono bugs, etc) is much appreciated!

P.S. Mono is not officially supported, but it's my goal to get it to that point some time in the future, I hope! sunglasses

Hi Robert,

Thank you for your comment and your interest in using mono. I am just looking at the site. If we start using LLBLGen with Mono I will try to help with testing and bug supports and maybe one day it will be officially supported simple_smile .

Thanks again for your effort and all the best Patrick

The latest RuntimeLibraries source archive available in the v2.0 section contains MONO compiler directives and a mono makefile for the ormsupportclasses (.net 2.0 code), which you can use to build the mono dll on windows with the C# compiler and then use the dll on mono simple_smile
