Some of these tools can be developed on - Windows before Mono is fully finished. + The SDK tools have now been built. - All of these tools should be written using C#. + If you are interested in contributing to the IDE effort, + please visit the <a href="http://www.monodevelop.com">Mono + Develop</a> web site. - For the tools that are typically command line tools: Try to - write these as components that could load their input from - streams or collections of streams, and implement the command - line tools as wrappers around those classes. - - For example, we will be making the C# compiler a component - that could be reused by applications that might have a use for - the various bits of the compiler (either to embed the - compiler, or reuse the code generator part of it). - - This is important so that these components (compiler, - assembler, linker, etc) can be integrated later into the - visual development environment (hopefully with the help of the - SharpDevelop hackers). - -TODO=ilasm,IL Assembler -** IL Assembler. - - This assembler should basically take as input a file - containing IL bytecodes as specified in the `Partition II' of - the ECMA spec, and produce a binary file. - -TODO=al,Assembly Linker -** Assembly Linker. - - This tool is used to construct assemblies, which are basically - deployment units for CLI executables. - -TODO=debugger,Debugger -** Debugger - - We will need a debugging API to debug CLI applications and - then a debugger component that can be used in an IDE - environment. - -TODO=ide,Integrated Development Environment -** Integrated Development Environment - - There is already a project to create a C# development - environment: <a - href="http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/default.asp">SharpDevelop</a>. - People should work with the SharpDevelop hackers to produce a - unified development environment. - - Please work with the SharpDevelop hackers to build a good IDE. - We will work on creating an embedable compiler component and - an embeddable debugger component that can be used withing - SharpDevelop - -TODO=hbrowser,Help Browser -** Help Browser - - We need a good help browser that can be used to browse - documentation. Ideally this help browser can accept as input - XML Docbook input and an assorted set of file formats - (Microsoft Help, Unix manual pages, Unix Info pages) - - Look at the GNOME DevHelp for a good set of ideas on how to - implement this.
