:: Metaj on Mono ::

:: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 ::

I figured out that I need to use -lib, -target and -reference on the mcs cmd line in order to add to the lib seach path, give the target type ("library" for dll in this case), and to ref the NUnit framework. The current problem is that I can not pass the same params successfully in a NAnt build file. When I try to pass the lib param with a quoted path, it fails.



After poking around in archives and bug lists, I posted a question to nant-users email list. We'll see what comes of that.

It's amazing how long it's been since I've blogged here! Fortunately (for this blog anyway), I was laid off in June, so I have some free time.

So here's what I've been doing & what I've accomplished recently (besides starting AltaModaTech.com :-)

I'm using Mono 0.25 on WinXP Pro. I have VS 2003 and I'm working on making cross-compilation easy. So far I have successfully config'd so I can:
* Compile simple apps with MCS
* Use other Mono tools to disassemble, view signatures, etc.
* Use Nant for easing builds
* Build NUnit 2.0 samples with VS 2003 (but not with Mono)

The next step is to get NUnit samples to build with Mono's mcs and run them successfully in NUnit.
