Dawn of Light on Linux

I read on mono website that mono works on solarisveven with sparc. THe only problem is can I run a server by just using a shell on terminal? if yes can you guys tell me how to?

[alex_speed]

mono dolserver.exe

You need to have mono executable in your path. I guess you'll need root rights in order to install it, maybe you can try to have a user space installation of mono.

[Graveen]

You can run dol from a shell.
Of course, if the shell is remote, you should better run it as a daemon, and get rid of the console i/o.

hmm, I guess I am not allowed to install anything. Can't we just compile the source code under any OS?

[noyankiziltan]

oh, i see why know. It is written in C# ! Okay, i guess i will try converting the code to Java, then it will work on any platform.

[Tired]

wow... that'll take awhile... a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn *gasps for air* nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time to do that.

Anybody knows how to fix it? is it the old multiprocessor problem?

[Graveen]

yes you remove the performance counter is DOLServer.exe. They are not available on mono (as i know)

[Dunnerholl]

apart from this, the log is not written consequently. it stops now for about 10 minutes to write, then writes a batch of lines thens tops again. whats the fix for this now?

[Graveen]

remove the color in log4net xml config file

[mgX]

consider that mono currently suck horribly...im seriously concerned with the GC, or the lack of it so to speak...I heard theyre working hard on this issue, and we might see some useful mono svn build soon... In any case, i suggest you use the svn build, and not releases, since theyre much further in terms of usability.

Graveens got tom working on an automated nightly build system, which i hear works but they just havnt linked

Please get that up soon grav!
