Mono XNA
• Ubuntu 9.10 has all dependences in default repository! You can install them in two ways. • First one is using Terminal: Open Terminal. Programs -> Accessories -> Terminal Copy and past next 2 lines
seperately (second is longer, but it should be in one line) – sudo apt-get update – sudo apt-get install libtaoframework-devil1.6-cil libtaoframework-openal1.1-cil libtaoframework-sdl1.2-cil libdevil1c2
libtaoframework-devil1.6-cil libnunit2.4-cil monodevelop monodevelop-nunit If you are asked for approval just type "y" and press "Enter"
• Second is using Synaptic: Go to System -> Administration -> Synaptic Tick following packets – libtaoframework-devil1.6-cil– libtaoframework-openal1.1-cil– libtaoframework-sdl1.2-cil – Libdevil1c2– libtaoframework-devil1.6-cil– libnunit2.4-cil – Monodevelop– monodevelop-nunit
• MonoDevelop should be fine with all references except NUnit. • INFO: NUnit in Ubuntu 9.10 is still 2.4.7 (2.4.8 expected), but you should add new reference from your GAC in
test project for unit testing.
