[IronPython] how to build ironpython on ubuntu from sources?

[Tomas Matousek]

I see. It would be alright if it crashed at runtime. I can disable the sandbox test mode at runtime and test in normal mode only. The problem with non-existing method is that the test suite doesn't even compile. (#if def would do, but I would prefer to have a single dll for Mono and for .NET).

Thanks,
Tomas

So, how do I create a sandboxed app-domain based on Silverlight model on Mono?

This is a complicated process, it involves initializing the C runtime specially, creating special versions of the libraries (special attributes injected in the various libraries), declaring things appropriately and so on.   It is not a general purpose system for securing apps.

Wouldn't it be better to add the method and throw NotSupportedException so that programs can compile and at runtime decide not to call the method? I guess a workaround would be to use dynamic calls...

Well, I can add the method, but if you call it, it will still crash.

So the test suite should perhaps not depend on this feature if we want to run it on Linux/Unix.
