Someone should port the Mono framework to AROS.. and bypass much of the issues and provide an OOP evironment... It would give us a C# and VB like BASIC compiler... Also it would give us a very nice non-oop restricted environment that's cross platform..

Problem is, that's a huge hunking port job to do.  I'm sure mono would be nice for AROS, but I rather seem more people jumping in to help out with GCC native port and TCP/IP ports.

Of course, someone could always start up a bounty for mono porting.

AROS-gcc (actually Linux-gcc started with a small script) does not support C++ Has something to do with missing link-libs and I ran into that the hard way ~1 year ago (yeah finally I had everything compiled only to let the linker show me it's finger ).


Hope that will change someday soon,but don't hold your breath.

There is indeed a Bounty (#4) on it.  We have one dev looking into it but wants to split it up between C and C++.  So far, the reactions aren't positive in splitting up the GCC into C and C++ parts for the bounty.
