[Mono-list] Seeking advice on using monodevelop to learn CSharp

Sun Apr 11 07:33:11 EDT 2010

Hi Stifu,

Thanks for your advice and URL.

To run the .dat file (mentioned in my previous posting) on both Windows and Linux, now I have to create 2 programs, one for Windows and another for Linux.  It is not convenient.  I'm looking for a solution, one program for both system.  Some folks suggest Java.  Any comment?  I'm now searching around for suggestion.

Whether you meant following packages for Windows on;
http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html

* Mono for Windows, Gtk#, and XSP
* Gtk# for .NET
* Mono Migration Analyzer

I don't know whether all windows have GTK# installed and running.  If NO, I have to request the user to install it.  It is NOT so convenient.

Monodevelop is running on Ubuntu 9.10 in this PC

I found following packages on its repo:-

$ apt-cache search gtk-sharp
gtk-sharp2-gapi - C source parser and C# code generator for GObject based APIs
libgtk2.0-cil - CLI binding for the GTK+ toolkit 2.12
gtk-sharp2 - GTK# 2.10 suite, CLI bindings for GTK+
gtk-sharp2-examples - sample applications for the GTK# 2.10 toolkit
libanculus0.3-cil - utility library for CLI projects
monodoc-anculus-manual - compiled XML documentation for libanculus-sharp

I haven't installed following packages:-
gtk-sharp2
gtk-sharp2-gapi
gtk-sharp2-examples

Whether GTK# needs them all?  Any further additional packages?  Thanks

Ah, I found several tutorials now.  I must run "gtk-sharp" to search, NOT gtk#/GTK#

Yes, if you make your program with MonoDevelop on Linux, it'll also work on
Windows as long as you install GTK# on Windows.

If you have MonoDevelop, it is very likely that you already have GTK# on
your machine. I suggest you look for GTK# tutorials to get started.
Actually, I stumbled on one which was posted a few days ago:
http://wp.colliertech.org/cj/?p=818

The links you gave are not for GTK#, but for GTK+ (which is written in C).
GTK# is a C# wrapper around GTK+.
You can find GTK# on the Mono download page:
http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html
Under Windows, you'll find "Gtk# for .NET". So you'll need to include /
package this installer with your app for Windows users.
