OK, tried to install Mono from the Debian repo, but there is no install candidate. I don't have the time to see if it can be rebuilt for Arm I am afraid.

Error is that there is a package called mono referred from another package, but there is no install candidate.

You understood correctly and thank you for your reply and efforts to test this. It won't be a deal breaker for me if it doesn't work, but if I know it works, I have some time to prepare until Raspberry Pi comes out.

<t>OK, think I understand. You are worried that because Ubuntu no longer support Armv6 builds, that the Mono project may be making the same decisions.<br/> <br/> The Mono project and Ubuntu are different projects, so decisions made by Ubuntu are not necessarily reflected by ...

<r>Well, if I understand you correctly, you want Mono for ARM and you think it's only provided by Ubuntu?<br/> Checking Debian, there is a Mono version for ARM:<br/> <URL url="http://packages.debian.org/len.....e/download">http://packages.debian.org/len.....e/download</URL><br/> ...

<t>Thanks, but I think you are missing my point. What I wanted to say was that since (the current) Ubuntu doesn't support the ARM processor used by the Rpi, it could be that Momo doesn't support this processor either.<br/> <br/> But, I am not sure if that would be an issue. Anyway, it is on the 'to ...

@crashingdutchman: I understand that Ubuntu doesn't support the Rpi ARM processor (anymore), so that is why I ask. Debian still supports ARM.

That is great, thank you.

I don't necessarily need to have Mono on the Raspberry Pi, but if I can compile a project on my Windows PC or a Linux box and target it to an ARM compatible program that works on Raspberry Pi, then I am happy camper.

It will need to be tried. I'll put it on my list.

Thanks for the replies.

So, now the questions is: Will Mono work on this specific ARM processor (used in Raspberry Pi)?

I understand that Ubuntu doesn't support the Rpi ARM processor (anymore), so that is why I ask.

Mono does, indeed, run on several ARM devices, including Nokia tablets, Android handsets and the iHellhound of Cupertino.

If it will compile on ARM and run in a 128-256Mb memory footprint as provided by the devices- yes.

Will mono-project work on the Raspberry Pi?

"They've talked about what programming languages they're planning on using over here"
I don't understand this sentence.
If you got Ubuntu running, you can use every programming language you want.
(I will use FreePascal and VB.NET (mono) and Java.
