RE: [rdnzl-devel] Re: RDNZL and Mono

Do you think it is doable? Or is the package too Windows specific.
The main point of the DLL which is delivered with RDNZL and which is kind of a bridge between Lisp and .NET is the fact that it mixes what Microsoft calls "managed" and "unmanaged" code. Roughly, from the Lisp side it looks like plain old C code, and from the .NET side it looks like, well, .NET code.
AFAIU (but I'm not 100% sure), this can only be done with Microsoft's C++, and not, e.g., with their C# or one of their other .NET languages. There's surely /some/ way to do that with Mono because Mono is open source and you'll be able to tweak it somehow. However, I have no idea how to do that (and no time to do it as well).
Just wait a couple of months, I'm sure some GCC solution will popup :-) (apparently, there were some efforts in that direction in the context of Google SoC). Michael.
