Harvest Time

Just a quick update. Enough advances have been made, and although there is still a lot of work to be done to get MonoDoc and MonoDevelop working in Win32, I did not want to keep folks that want to begin experimenting with Gnome# in Windows.

Therefore, I have put together another incarnation of the Mono Experimental Combined Installer for Windows. Some of the highlights are:

* Use of mono 1.1.13 and Gtk# 2.7.1 bound to GTK+ 2.8

* Inclusion of libmono.a so that folks trying to work with mkbundle can work with it.

* A sample application (PEditGtk2) that demonstrate GtkSourceVeiw# and some use of FileChooserDialog

NOTE: The installer is pretty big (over 54 MB). This is why I have used a segmented approach (an exe and 4 companion bin files) to make it a bit more tolerable. Should you want to run the installer, you would have to download all files to a common directory and run the exe from that directory.

I am astonished by your wonderful progress and work. When MonoDevelop is ported to Win32 it will be wonderful to have many developers working with it. It is so similar as Mozilla is: as many cross-platform applications we have, more easier it will be for the people to migrate to windows. You are the best mono hacker. Good luck! I'll keep your track.

I agree... it will be really nice to have MonoDevelop on Windows, and give SharpDevelop some competition. This will be especially nice with MonoDevelop's forthcoming full Glade integration.

Thanks for this installer. I did have to fix up quite a few pkg-config specs -- can this be part of the installer ? I didn't see the source for the installer so I can't gauge how hard that might be.
