Summary	0000302: Add support for multiple platforms using the Mono Framework (Linux, OS X, iOS, Android)

Revision	2012-03-11 19:36 by ycastonguay
Description	Mono is a C# cross platform open source implementation of .NET. It supports WinForms. http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page [^] Converting to Mono would make the application work on Linux and Mac OS X, IF the third party libraries can work on those platforms. They all theoretically support these platforms, but that doesn't mean they work under Mono on those platforms. I ran the MoMA test (Mono Migration Analyzer) and it seems that converting to Mono wouldn't be that bad after all. The errors it gave are 98% because of using the Win32 version of bass.dll (P/Invoke). According to this thread (http://www.un4seen.com/forum/?topic=7260.0;hl=mono+linux [^]) if the Linux version is used, there are no P/Invoke problems. More info: http://www.mono-project.com/Interop_with_Native_Libraries [^] http://www.mono-project.com/Guide:_Porting_Winforms_Applications [^] ------- The prototype is sufficiently advanced to say that a Mono version will be done!
