A Windows Installer that includes Mono 1.0, GTK#
1.0, gtk+ 2.24, and XSP is now available. XSP is Mono web server that serves ASP.NET web pages. No support for Apache on Windows due to mod_mono uses unix sockets. However, a future release of Mono, XSP, and mod_mono will support Apache on Windows via TCP/IP sockets.

Does it leave xsp started as a service afterwards? or does it just install a binary without starting the server.
Does it leave xsp started as a service afterwards
I would hope not. That would be pretty stupid.
I’ve never really trusted 3 party setup’s, not really for this and not really for a apache/mysql/etc combo.
There is often something, as you call it, stupid.
you get an item on the menu that starts the server in a cli window, and when u press any key in this window, the server shuts down. also, it doesn’t open by default on port 80 (but rather on port 8089).
the installer doesn’t seem ‘intrusive’ from a brief look. i.e. no startup/registry setups, and no new services.
and while we’re on the subject, does anyone know how ro run/compile monodevelop on windows? i had no luck so far.

As long as monodevelop depends on gnome-sharp, and you don’t succeed in compiling gnome#, I don’t see how you could compile monodevelop. (If you did compile gnome# on win32, congratulations AFAIK you are the first)
Is there anything equivalent to Microsoft Web Matrix (http://www.asp.net/webmatrix/) for Linux, i.e, a small ASP.Net IDE? I really like that little program, and if I could use something like that on Linux (with XSP doing Cassini’s job as a local test web-server), it would be great.
Does anyone know if it’s possible to build Gnome# and GTK# applications under Windows using this package? I was able to get it working with #Develop, however when I tried to compile the “hello world” app, I get:
The namespace `GtkSharp’ can not be found (missing assembly reference?)Try using -r:gtk-sharp
Any ideas? Or is this simply not possible?
Try to use -r:gtk-sharp.dll instead, it worked for me.
GtkSharp namespace was removed a few months ago.
You might want to remove that
And add: -pkg:gtk-sharp
Which is the new hip way of using Gtk#
Thanks Miguel,
I’ve been looking around for some examples of the new way to reference assemblies after my application wouldn’t compile with the new Mono/GTK#. This saves me some time.
Why do you want to run Monodevelop on windows? Monodevelop is a port of Sharpdevelop. So if you’re on Windows, just run Sharpdevelop instead. You can still develop for Mono using Sharpdevelop.
well, i don’t like installing .NET. and if i can use mono as a runtime for mono/# D, i prefere it to MS solution.
You can run SharpDevelop using Mono.
…on Windows.
