[Mono-list] General doubt about compatibility Linux and Windows

Hello,

1- You'll have to package extra DLLs if you use Mono-specific stuff (under
the Mono namespace), or if you use GTK#, you'll have to add the GTK#
installer along with your program, for example. Otherwise, the code Mono
generates is binary compatible with .NET.

2- I think so, but I can't say for sure.

3- Not really (apart from bugs). Solutions and projects are now compatible
with Visual Studio.

4- Your project must not invoke Windows DLLs, and the .NET classes used must
be implemented in Mono (see: http://go-mono.com/status/). Also, MoMA is a
tool that will point out potential problems with your app if you want it
work on other OSes: http://mono-project.com/MoMA

5- Dunno.

Hope that helps.
