Any News on PB.Net

[Nik]

Mono 1.2.3 was just released today and so I wanted to ask how far the development of PB.Net is gone, maybe one of the Testers could upload some example binaries so I can test them under Mono on Linux and OS X. Compile once, run everywhere is simply the most elegant way of cross platform coding...

[Kale]

PB.Net doesn't exist.

that's wrong.

PB.Net doesn't exist.

I have installed it

[ricardo]

What is PB.NET?

If has something to do with MS .NET im not sure that its the more ellegant way of multiplatafform

Where is it then? Does it compile to CIL and use the .NET framework? I think not.

What is Mono?
Mono provides the necessary software to develop and run .NET client and server applications on Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, Windows, and Unix. Sponsored by Novell (http://www.novell.com), the Mono open source project has an active and enthusiastic contributing community and is positioned to become the leading choice for development of Linux applications.

Why is this part "nasty"?

And completely unofficial and illegally using the Purebasic name. :roll: Does Fantaisie Software know about this?

[Nik]

Yep it's signed off by Fred, and will only be available to registered Purebasic Users, It's not yet released but i had the opportunity to run a small Console application written with it on my Mac. And yes it's basicly a Compiler written in Purebasic which compiles Purebasic Code to CLI Code, and then uses an ILASM to form a managed excutable out of it, this excutable then runs on .Net or Mono (which is OpenSource and therfor free, you don't need the support of cause, and there are probably many free help forums)

And completely unofficial and illegally using the Purebasic name.

it's amazing how you prejudge about things you never heard about.

Deeém2031 is a member on these forums with various posts. I doubt that
Fred has "signed off" on this at all. Fred/Freak: what's the official word?

> it's amazing how you prejudge about things you never heard about

So you, a member here for less than a year, know more about it than
us regulars who've been here and known Fred for over 3 years? Right.

[Trond]

PB, if you don't have access to Fred's email don't assume you know the contents of all his email conversations.
