Installing C# plug-in on Eclipse on Mac OSX (didn't succeed)
This rough note is what I've written while I was working. Since I think it might be useful to some people even though it's messy, I just paste this on my blog and let search engines crawl and incorporate into their search result.
After I've tried using 3 different C# plug-in for Eclipse 3.X that should work according to the developer of each, I found they don't work at least on my environment. So I just gave up utilizing Eclipse for C# and switch to Visual Studio 2010 Express. Here I list the results of each plug-in.
Mac OSX 10.5.8
Eclipse 3.4
1. C# plug-in for Eclipse by Improve
http://www.improve-technologies.com/alpha/esharp/
- Mono project support Mac
http://www.mono-project.com/Mono:OSX
- Installation of mono ends w/o problem.
Location of the installation
/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/2.6.7/bin/mono
- compile doesn't start on Eclipse.
Although the path is set as:
x /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/2.6.7/bin/mono
? /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/2.6.7/bin/monop ... Weird error occurs (Failed String index out of range: -3) when I try to save HelloWolrd file.
- Give up at least for awhile
2. Black sun
http://black-sun.sourceforge.net/csharp-editor/index.html
- Create new project as c++, then add the following to .project
sf.blacksun.csharp.model.csharpnature
- However, when I run "make" in the Black-sun tab at the toolbar at the top, it provides error like this "missing separator. Stop." which seems to be from gcc or something for c language.
In "preference" -> "Blacksun CSharp", there's a "CSharp Compiler" part but it doesn't show anything.
- CONCLUSION: give up using this as well.
3. Emonic
- Found another article from IBM, but it only talks about using .Net framework, specifically avoiding Mono
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-eclipse-migratenetvs/
Overall conclusion: there's no Eclipse plug-in available for Mac OSX at this moment (Aug, 2010).
- By accident, I started installing (includes downloading installers) of both MS Visual Studio (2010 Express) AND C# plugin for Eclipse 3.x on Mac OSX including installation of mono-project library. The former took longer than 60 minutes whereas the latter took 35 min.
