I've updated mono on Athena to 1.1.13. mono is an open-source
reimplementation of much of Microsoft .NET's functionality, including
a runtime, C# compiler, many assemblies (library bundles) and a large
number of utilities and helper applications. As before, only a Linux
version is available.
From my message to users:
mono on Athena has been updated to 1.1.13 in new "mono" lockers that are
intended to replace the older "mono-gtk" lockers. To use this new version,
do:
setup mono
followed by the command of your choice, i.e. "mcs myfile.cs" etc.
There are quite a few updated and new components in this release, notably
monodevelop and the "boo" programming language among others. "monodoc" will
supply documentation though that is mostly for the many classes and components.
There are quite a few man pages (look below /mit/mono_v1.1.13/man/man1 in the
mono_v1.1.13 locker to see what they are). See file
/mit/mono_v1.1.13/README.athena and the mono home page at
http://www.go-mono.com for more information.
The various demo and sample directories at the top level of the mono_v1.1.13
locker have examples with READMEs that explain how to compile and run them.
mono is still (and may forever remain) a work in progress- it's likely that
there will be a fair number of bugs that we probably won't be able to fix
until we update to the next mono release.
