[opensuse-factory] mono - a dead duck?
I've read the hype. Both moonshine and moonlight plugins don't work and I've tried using monodevelop (previous mono version and now 2.2) to build .NET sources, all a big failure and seemingly only good for code written specially for mono. Am I flogging a dead horse or am I missing a clue or two? Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

They work for me :)

Have you tried filing a bug? Or at least asking this on a mono-specific mailing list? confused, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Hmmmmmmmmmm.........Tried on one US site and www.itv.com/itvplayer with the same result ... download Silverlight.

OK, I shall have a look at the mono list. I just wondered if anyone on this list were using them. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

Works a charm here on three machines running different openSUSE releases - 11.0 through Factory

I haven't used monodevelop personally but colleagues have without issue. I've not heard of many issues, but IIRC you have to be careful of what .Net version you're writing for as there is a compatability issue.
Am I flogging a dead horse or am I missing a clue or two?
A very good chance you're missing something or other. A very useful resource is #mono on irc.gimp.net they are very active and pretty friendly.

I have to report the same as Greg and Andy. Works great for me on openSUSE 11.1 (and SLED). Though, primarily only with Silverlight 1.0 apps at the moment, but 2.0 is coming soon and pretty confident the Mono team will nail it.

Also as Andy mentions here we have good success. I work in the ISV Team here at Novell with partners porting applications to SUSE Linux Enterprise and we are having great success in using it to move applications over to Linux (with some caveats). As recommended, you should discuss any issues you are having on the Mono Forums ( http://www.go-mono.com/forums/ ).

AOK, thanks, I'll take a look. It's a Software Defined Radio (SDR) app, so I posted to their group, but got not a single response, though there are quite a number of guys on there I know are clued in on Linux and one who is a Ubuntu Product Manager and SDR developer.
