[Mono-list] Mono and MAC OS X?

[Urs Muff]

The current mint is not working at all on Mac OS X [at least for me].  All I
get is 100% CPU and that's the end of it, whatever I do, even trying to run
the simplest possible hello world pre-compiled assembly.  --> It's kind of
hard to help if not even that works.  Where to start?  What is the state of
the union [interpreter/runtime]?  What environment is used to debug
[CodeWarrior/Project Builder]? --> since the environment will greatly
improve the possibility to track down crashes, and other hard bugs.  [mint
does not look in great shape in any platform, I found problems [not being
able to use with mcs for example] on windows, and linux with mint].

Does anyone have a 'working' environment at all on Mac OS X?  If so, are you
willing to share, so that we all can help.
