Hello, I know there is a special outdated branch provided by casualjim which lets you compile ironruby on mono/linux, but what about the current version? Can I compile it with mono? I tried using the 2.8 release of mono to compile ironruby 1.1.1, but it would result in an error: ``` Runtime/SavableScriptCode.cs(40,47): error CS0246: The type or ``` namespace name `ScriptCode' could not be found.

References in project files can be conditional. I don’t have an example handy, but unless things have changed in the last year :), the project files should already have a conditional dependency on the Silverlight assemblies.

How do we want to handle things that CAN be worked around in Mono before they’re patched then?

Once we’ll have CI server test against Mono we’ll discover the problem right away and don’t check in anything that would be broken on Mono. I suggest we implement the workaround, file bugs into Mono and IronRuby bug trackers, and add a comment to the code with explanation and a link to the filed IronRuby bug. When the bug is fixed in Mono we go and remove the workaround to keep the code base clean. Tomas ---

Then it some cases, I think it might make sense to avoid using a feature in IR which is not yet available in the current stable release of Mono. Jb ---

I think we should not have any #if MONO conditionals. That would mean we’d need a different set of binaries for Mono, Moonlight, etc. almost doubling the number of flavors we have today (desktop CLR, Silverlight 4, Silverlight 3). Now that Mono 2.8 is released we can use memory mapped files (it wasn’t available when I wrote this code). We don’t need to use P/Invokes anymore. I have the V4 implementation somewhere almost working so I might be able to check it in soon.

Everytime I worked on making IronRuby working on Mono (IronRuby is constantly kicking Mono’s tires, which is very good), I used the following workflow: - Avoid any specific Mono branch. - Fix any path/casing issue directly in the build files (csproj, …) - If the code compiles with .net’s csc, and doesn’t with Mono, file a bug in Mono, and use a code form that works for both, if possible. - If the code doesn’t compile because of a Mono feature (better unused local variable/field detection), fix directly in the source. It also may happen that IronRuby triggers a bug in Mono, and thus, requires Mono from master to compile/work. Jb ---

Well, some of us don’t need the CI server as we’re programming against mono already 😉 FWIW, I’m looking into getting the linux CI server back up and running with CJ’s help. But agreed. I can back out the ifdef I made and just use the work around. Also, should we be targeting a specific version of mono, or just trunk? Something else to think about… historically I always used trunk to allow mono to “catch up” as far as possible since the majority of work was done against .NET… it seems this might be a good chance to change that disconnect.

By “target” I meant “do primary development against” 🙂 BTW my branch is updated, I reset to the current master/HEAD so it should be a lot cleaner, also undid the mono ifdef, commented out the original calls explaining that Mono doesn’t support it yet. Need to work on some repos/patches/bug filing for mono now. On Mon, Oct 25, 2010 at 5:50 PM, Tomas M.

We have actually always targeted Mono and IronRuby mostly works on it. Of course we found a bunch of Mono bugs for which we either implemented a workaround or filed a bug if the workaround would be too convoluted.
