Clarion# app on a Mac

Published 2008-01-14    Printer-friendly version

Wayne Freeman has reported success in running a simple (i.e. "Hello world") Clarion# application as a Mono app on a Mac, under X11. Mono is a Novell-sponsored open source project which lets you develop and run .NET client and server applications on Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, Windows, and Unix.

I've been trying to get a web app running on a Linux box, using Mono's XSP web server for ASP.NET. In ASP.NET applications, source is compiled by the web server; while it's possible to tell XSP to use the Clarion# language, the Clarion# CodeDOM provider isn't yet set up to handle Unix-style paths with / instead of \, so compilation fails. But this appears to be a relatively easy fix, and SV is aware of the problem.
