Compiling Mono (C#) on YDL?

[Brian Gilman]

Hello Derick,

	Actually, yes, you are wrong. C# was submitted to ECMA as a standard 
and MS, while not playing completely nicely, has made is possible for 
MANY languages to interoperate with C#. I was referring to Novell and 
Miguel Icaza's Mono (monkey in espanol) project that is an 
implementation of C# for linux (www.go-mono.com). In fact, their is a 
strong developer community around the JIT (that's just in time 
compiler) for PPC. Both IBM/Motorola and apple have been very helpful 
in providing details around the details of PPC assembler. Mono (that's 
the open source, C# runtime, mcs - is the  mono compiler for c#) runs 
on AMD64, x86 Linux, and (supposedly) linuxppc.  I have mono (open 
source free C# runtime and compiler) working on my linux (Intel) as 
well as my OS X boxes (not intel but IBM/Motorola) and wanted to know 
if anyone had the chance to try and compile the source on YDL.

	Thanks for responding though. Perhaps you should go to the Mono site 
and take a look for more information about this fantastic project, its 
goals and vision for the future of Linux etc.


							Best,

									-B
