Building with Mono?

[tonytheodore]

Hi,

I noticed a couple of recent threads on pgsql-general@postgresql.org and am curious to try this out. I'm running OS X and think I can get a Mono dev environment setup up, but aren't sure if that will be sufficient.

Has anyone tried building with a Mono toolchain and have any tips/tricks? Is it possible at this stage or something down the track?

Hi Tony

Good to hear from you.

To date I have not tried to build this project on Mono. I have very little experience with Mono in recent times and while this is definitely on my TODO list, it hasn’t been a top priority so far.

My thoughts on compatibility:

•     The whole of the core of Andl is written in C#, targeting framework 4.5. Mono supports this in full, AFAIK. Should work with little or no effort.
  

•     There is an Sqlite backend that uses P/Invoke. You never know your luck! Could work, but probably will need tweaks.
  

•     There is a server that uses WCF (possibly supported); another that uses ASP.NET MVC (probably not supported).
  

•     There is a workbench that uses WPF (not supported)
  

•     There is a Thrift interface (C++)
  

•     Postgres is still a work in progress.
  

If you want to have a go I’ll give you all the help I can. Just ask!

Regards

David M Bennett FACS
