Suggestion: Make F# components work as part of MonoTouch apps about fsharp HOT 10 CLOSED

OK, I found the platform binaries for these, e.g. they install to

/Developer/MonoAndroid/usr/lib/mono/2.1

I'll now try building FSharp.Core against these

from fsharp.

I have added an experimental build of FSharp.Core for MonoAndroid, see 259fc20

Just do:

make do-2-1

and you get

lib/debug/2.1/FSharp.Core.dll

from fsharp.

You can now build and use F# components on MonoAndroid by using the FSharp.Core.dll you get with "make do-2-1" and "make install-2-1".

That's not to say it is easy - you can't do this directly from MonoTouch because you need to have a project file etc. but you can do it if you compile from the command line.

More testing is needed too

Ben,

Do you have an iPhone or an Android? We can give you the licenses to test on device.

Xamarin have improved their support in this area enough that iOS apps are now viable.
