[Mono-devel-list] longtime Mac programmer needs a little help getting set up

[Daniel Morrow]

Dear Mono list,

We have a .NET project written originally on the PC, using VB.NET. It 
is a Web Service. There's no UI, aside from the web-pages that it 
publishes. The web pages are just the descriptions of the Web Services. 
So, I read about Mono being able to do .NET stuff on UNIX-y platforms, 
including MacOS X, and it sounds incredibly useful.

Anyway, most of my expertise is as a Mac programmer, not as a UNIX guy. 
So my command-line experience is little, and my UNIX background is 
almost nothing. So naturally, when I see installation instructions 
like:

	7.  	Configure GTK# as per the following: 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/sw/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig \ 
PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH \ ./configure 
--prefix=/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/1.0

I naturally panic and think, "WTF?"

I'm not sure which parts need downloading, which parts need compiling, 
etc.

So my question is, has someone written the "Installing and developing 
Mono on MacOS X for Dummies" yet? The instructions on the Go-Mono site 
seem to be written by someone more comfortable with UNIX, command 
lines.

Thanks for any help.

-Dan.
