development blog for the wicked stuff we encounter

Yesterday, I had a strong urge to try out Mono on Mac. I found the official Mono bundle in dmg format on the mono site. I'm a bit disappointed, that Stable packages are usually not available for the Mac while they're done on other platforms, you need to wait weeks for implementation. But the worst is, that you need to install all other applications either from Source or by Fink. Anyway I successfully installed XSP and now I can deploy ASP.Net applications as well, but a workaround is needed, because somehow mod_mono is working completely insane under OS X...:
- start XSP on port something like 8080
- start Apache on port 80
- create a Virtual Host on Apache as a proxy for port 8080
- voila, you now have a fully configured Virtual Server for XSP ;]
I tried to install Gtk# as well, but the Fink died out - possibly there is an error on my side by upgrading to Tiger sometime ago. I'm truly waiting for the Quartz implementation! Woohoo! No need for X11 ;)
