[Mono-dev] Mono 3.2.8 incompatibility with .NET 4.0 on Windows 7-10

[Dan Liew]

Hi,

> I've also got a link to a downloadable .zip file containing the sources and the nUnit package for easy compiling on Windows as well as Linux without having to create your own project (done due to size restrictions on the mailing list). nUnit 2.6.4 is present, so that it compiles out of the box on both platforms (sorry, not sure how best to set up two platforms simultaneously, but that's another topic). The nUnit test cases are in the file Test.cs.

I just tried building your test project and running the test cases
under Mono 4.2.1, they pass.

You are unlikely to get much help when reporting bugs with such an old
version of Mono.

Although you say you are restricted to using Ubuntu 14.04 that doesn't
stop you from using a newer version of Mono.

Xamarin provide repositories containing newer builds of Mono which you can use.

You can always build from source too :)

HTH,
Dan.
