Hello,
I am a new mono user. Took some doing, but I do have MonoDevelop
working and compiling using the vbnc compiler. I write mostly
engineering type software. Could be called utilities I guess. I am
interested in mono because the company I work for does International
business and Microsoft isn't always king in other countries. Haven't
had any requests for Linux support yet, but I know they are in the
future. So that is more or less why I am here...
I am having a lot of difficulty getting what I would call a very
simple program to run on mono. I am trying to compile it on my Linux
machine, in the hope the compiler will give me some clue as to what
might need to be changed. But the compiler doesn't seem to give very
useful reports. It tells me the type of problem, but not where to look
for it. Might be using compiler wrong, can't find any information about
how to use it. So here are a few questions. :-)
Are there any instructions for the vbnc compiler? (Example of how to
compile a Visual Studio solution from the command line would be awesome)
Which of the many downloads would give me the source for the compiler?
Does the group believe monodevelop is the correct tool for VB.NET on
Linux? Are there any other IDEs worth looking at?
Am I going at this the wrong way? The programs I have compiled with
Visual Studio, do open on Mono, they just don't keep running. :-(
That's enough for now. :-)
Thanks.
