Mono build for Cuke4Nuke

[mattwynne]

This is just because I'm too lazy to switch from OSX when I want to work on / play with Cuke4Nuke.

Is this even possible? I think Mono supports the version of C# we're using, but I'm not sure how we're read the .SLN files to make the build command. Thoughts?

I believe MonoDevelop can build from SLN files. And AFAIK, there's nothing Windows-specific in Cuke4Nuke right now. Give it a try.

Suggest we close this. When I last tried it, there were a couple of dependencies on windows-specific gems which I'm not interested in de-coupling right now, plus I still haven't fathomed the MonoDevelop toolset. I have approximately achieved this goal by adding rake tasks (currently in my tables branch) to build the C# and run NUnit tests from the (windows) command-line so I'm happy enough for now.

Reopening since Ben Hall has done the work. Just need to pull it and make sure nothing breaks on the Windows side.

Any plans to make this available any time soon?

[richardlawrence]

Probably. It's low priority for me and will take longer to integrate since I don't have a Mono environment at the moment and want to thoroughly regression test the Windows side, but I'd like to pull it into a release soon.
