Can someone with a Linux box please verify that this works correctly? Thanks, -John ---

Sanghyeon S.: > :compile task depends on :happy task, which cannot find .exe commands. Excellent! I just applied this patch to my local copy. I’ll push it out tomorrow along with some other fixes that I’m working on tonight. Other than that, does it compile and run OK on Mono? Thanks, -John ---

COMMON\_DEBUG\_SWITCHES has define:DEBUG;TRACE, but the semicolon is a statement separator in \*nix shell. I think you need to quote it. Other than that, Mono 1.2.5 (the latest stable release) will suffer from: [https://bugzilla.novell.com/show\_bug.cgi?id=325110](https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=325110) [https://bugzilla.novell.com/show\_bug.cgi?id=325319](https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=325319) [https://bugzilla.novell.com/show\_bug.cgi?id=333647](https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=333647) Thankfully, all of them are fixed in current SVN. IronRuby compiles and runs OK where OK is defined as evaluating 1+1. I haven’t tried tests yet. ---

I’ll update via SVN when I get home (I can’t hit svn:// from inside of MSFT on my Mac since we don’t have a proxy client for Mac handy). BTW, have you tried running the tests yet? You could try the simpler ones via rake test, or the more adventurous ones via rake specs. -John
