Many thanks to Ivan for his dev.sh, ir.sh, and help with many of the implementation details. Gotta give credit where credit is due. The bad Ruby idioms will all be due to me, so just let me know what you need me to change. 🙂 Ryan R.

Given that I couldn’t run tests on Mono and I couldn’t figure out how ROWAN\_RUNTIME was used, I went with the cmd\_prefix. I can strip that back off. As to the mono\_debug folder, you’ll need to ask Ivan. I think I added the explicit use of that folder, but that’s the folder to which the mono build was compiling. I’ll check into it again.

In irtests.rb: We already have an environment variable ROWAN\_RUNTIME that is used to run tests on Mono. No need to add cmd\_prefix. Just in your dev.sh set ROWAN\_RUNTIME to “mono”. Why do you need to set debug\_folder to mono\_debug? Why couldn’t mono build to the same folders (Debug/V4 Debug) as on Windows?

When I build on mono with rake compile, the debug folder created is called mono\_debug. I don’t think I added that myself, just in the irtest.rb file. As to the ROWAN\_RUNTIME, where is that set? I don’t see it in the Dev.bat file. Thanks, Ryan R.

If you pass mono arguments to dev.bat it will set it like so: REM – Mono if “%1” == “mono” ( set ROWAN\_RUNTIME=mono if NOT EXIST %2\mono.exe ( echo Error: Mono Runtime not found at %2 goto END ) ) REM Do not encapsulate this if-statement in parentheses, they might interact with %PATH% if it contains (x86): if “%1” == “mono” set PATH=%PATH%;%2 So on Windows you can have 2 shortcuts: one for Mono environment and one for .NET environment.
