Will MonoDevelop compile to the ARMv6, mainly so I can get it running on my Raspberry Pi?

I've noted that Debian can run on the Raspberry Pi and Debian has a set of drivers for Mono.

So does this mean we'll be able to develop in Mono?

The Mono project supports ARM, so one should be able to build and use MonoDevelop on the Raspberry Pi. At least that's what I'm hoping!

I got my Raspberry Pi yesterday (yay!) and can confirm that it is possible to compile and run .NET code (I tested with C#) using Mono and its MCS compiler module. This was all done via the shell and not a GUI. It would be great to get the MonoDevelop IDE running if at all possible though.

For those interested, you can install Mono by typing:

sudo apt-get install mono-complete

This also includes the MCS compiler module, so you can simply compile a .cs file thus:

mcs program.cs

and run it like so:

mono program.exe
