  CoreCLR.bundle                          System.Core.dll

  Microsoft.Scripting.Vestigial.dll       slr.dll
  Microsoft.Scripting.dll                 slr.dll.managed_manifest
  Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll

And check out what those DLLs are made of:

$ file System.dll
  System.dll: MS Windows PE 32-bit Intel 80386 console DLL

But what’s this thing? Man, that’s big!

$ file agcore
  agcore: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
  agcore (for architecture i386): Mach-O bundle i386
  agcore (for architecture ppc):  Mach-O bundle ppc
$ ls -l agcore
  -rwxr-xr-x   1 502  admin  16083600 Apr 26 03:16 agcore

So how much of those DLLs are managed code? Do they contain Win32 code, and does agcore have some magic in it for bootstrapping Win32 code?

• JavaScript Graphics
  Development

• Various
  implementations of a Mandelbrot set generator

Does your foe have a patent to it? Or someone that can be acquired by your foe?”

These are rough notes, and due to the the moving target nature of everything, very likely to stop working at some point in the future.

• Install Fink.
• Configure Fink to use the unstable repository.
• Install mono, gtk-sharp, gecko-sharp, gtksourceview-sharp, and probably a bunch of other stuff (monodevelop will let you know what’s needed when you run ./configure) using “fink install”. When you come to gtk-sharp, you might have a problem with a gtk+2 dependency, so if this happens, edit
  /sw/fink/10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/graphics/gtk-sharp.info
  and change all occurrences of “gtk+2 (>= 2.2.4-3)” to “gtk+2 (>=2.2.4-2)”
• Install mozilla with fink. This will take a veeeery long time if you do it from source, so if you don’t mind mixing source/binary
  installations, just do “sudo apt-get install mozilla”. If you don’t have mozilla installed, the monodevelop script will appear to hang (“cat `which mozilla`” turns into “cat”) when you launch it.
• Download MonoDevelop 0.3, extract it, set CPPFLAGS=-I/sw/include, CFLAGS=-I/sw/include, and LDFLAGS=-L/sw/lib, and then run ./configure in the top-level directory.
• Edit Main/Base/Makefile and change CSC = mcs /debug to CSC = mcs. This prevented a NullReferenceException while compiling that part of the code.
• make and then sudo make install
• Mono seems to be a little confused about how to handle DllImport on Mac OS X, so we need to help it. You’ll need to make the following
  symlinks:

  $ cd /sw/lib
  $ sudo ln -s libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
  $ sudo ln -s libgnomevfs-2.dylib libgnomevfs-2.so
  $ sudo ln -s libgtksourceview-1.0.dylib libgtksourceview-1.0.so
  $ sudo ln -s libglib-2.0.dylib libglib-2.0.so
  # Update 5/18/2004:
  $ sudo ln -s libglib-2.0.dylib libglib-2.0.so.0
  
  $ cd /usr/local/lib/monodevelop/bin/
  $ sudo ln -s libgdldock.dylib libgdldock.so
  $ sudo ln -s libmonodevelop.dylib libmonodevelop.so

• Open up X11, start an xterm, and run /usr/local/bin/monodevelop.

I can’t make any promises that this will work, but it created the code completion database successfully, and so far, it’s working well for me.
