I was thinking about all of the development tools, and I only really know two of the toolset languages - Java and Mono (.NET, that is). I have Visual Studio.Net 2005 on my notebook already. I have built a very simple .NET application, but it fails to run on the 770, via mono. Just so you know, I was able to run the sample console.exe app on my 770, (by typing ./mono console.exe), so it is set up correctly.

What I wonder is - do I have to jump through some hoops to get this to work? I have deployed .NET apps before, but I was deploying them to Windoze machines, and they had the famous batch file installs. That would work fine, I think, just convert the batch file installs to shell scripts.

I think the problem is that mono is for framework version 1.0, and I have framework version 2.0. I tried to downgrade it to 1.0, to no avail.

I have the old version of .NET CD's, and as I was trying to install them, and the CD failed, scratched, so I had to install VS 2005 instead.
