Or we can find the bloke who is not keeping Ubuntu Mono and Iron Python releases up to date and kick his....<br>errr... ummm.... (mumble)...<br> It is pretty weird that the distro which always has the latest of everything is the one with the old IPy/Mono, where the one which is NEVER up to date (RHEL) has it. I'll do some investigating. I'm afraid my experiences with SUSE and Red Hat are what drove me to Ubuntu. I do almost all of my open source work on a laptop, and there is a limit to what I dare ask it to do. Two operating systems and six IDEs/languages are pushing it a bit. Running VM would be over the top. Perhaps I can set up another desktop when I get home. <br>
Thanks for the advice.<br>Vernon<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 21, 2011 at 2:48 PM, Steve Dower <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:s.j.dower@gmail.com">s.j.dower@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
Ubuntu doesn't have the latest version of Mono, which is required for<br>
the .NET 4.0 equivalent compiler (dmcs). You would have to build Mono<br>
from sources to get it. Alternatively, most other distributions seem<br>
to use the latest version (in particular, OpenSUSE and RHEL are<br>
actively supported by Mono). You can get a ready-made OpenSUSE VM from<br>
the Mono site.<br>
<br>
You may not even need to build IronPython using Mono. I'm using<br>
msbuild binaries on OpenSUSE at the moment and haven't had any issues<br>
(yet).<br>
<br>
Also, buying a Mac for testing appears to be the only option, since<br>
they don't allow the use of MacOS in VMs (legally, anyway). (I'm sure<br>
that will be taken into consideration when setting up CI, right...?)<br>
