mono - MonoDevelop ARMv6 on Raspberry Pi

Question

Will MonoDevelop compile to the ARMv6, mainly so I can get it running on my Raspberry Pi?

---

I've noted that Debian can run on the Raspberry Pi and Debian has a set of drivers for Mono.

So does this mean we'll be able to develop in Mono?

Answer 1

The Mono project supports ARM, so one should be able to build and use MonoDevelop on the Raspberry Pi. At least that's what I'm hoping!

I got my Raspberry Pi yesterday (yay!) and can confirm that it is possible to compile and run .NET code (I tested with C#) using Mono and its MCS compiler module. This was all done via the shell and not a GUI. It would be great to get the MonoDevelop IDE running if at all possible though.

For those interested, you can install Mono by typing:

sudo apt-get install mono-complete

This also includes the MCS compiler module, so you can simply compile a .cs file thus:

mcs program.cs

and run it like so:

mono program.exe
