Just wondering if this could be of interest to Puppy?

Yes, I've used mono, No, I haven't used in Puppy.

I'd like to try a .Net app. I have, on Puppy with the Mono framework installed.

They've been developing the .Net framework for a few years now.
It should be working good by now, & any bugs should be well documented.

Great!

Do you have the GTK bindings installed?

rarsa; Don't know where to begin... I usually work with premade Puppy versions.

If you know where & what to download & how to set it up, I'll give it a go.
I'd start with a fresh frugal Puppy install, so maybe one is suited for Mono?

Qs; How big is the installed Mono framework? There's also a Mono IDE?

Sorry... app. is an abreviation, so the period, the real indicator was the comma
separating the first statement of "WISH", from the second one "NEED".

I'll take a look at your links, I was told Mono didn't need Gnome, but it's
probably Gnome's GTK that's needed for GUI apps., but maybe it needs more.

I hear you KLH... my friend has a killer app. that's worth it.

Compared to XP that he's using, Puppy at 100MB + Mono at 200MB = 300MB.
That's about half the size of XP I think (maybe less), so that's an improvement.
The .Net framework itself is probably about 100MB (WOW), same size as Puppy!

I compiled MONO a long time ago, it's about 24 megs.

mono-1.1.13.8.tar.gz

I think one needs this also:

libgdiplus-1.1.13.6.tar.gz

I don't recall what else needed added. I"ll double check after dinner.

Thanks "John"; I down loaded the latest Mono 1.2, I guess it's an exe archive.
If your able to help me integrate it into Puppy it'll be a valuable asset indeed.

What rarsa said about dependencies is just what I've heard, lots of Gnome.
If a lots of Gnome is needed, why chase the parts, just install Gnome-FULL.
After all... this is a M$ like Heavy Duty environment, may as well act like it.

trying to backtrack in my memory how i first stumbled upon puppy, i think it could have been when i googled for anti-bloatware.

why do people keep wanting to include bloatware that's bigger than the distro itself?
