Re: Mono?!?

by Vincent Povirk

Yes, that was added in today's Git. When you do a prefix update, and a recent wine-mono (or native .NET) isn't installed, Wine will try to install it from a system location, and if that fails it will ask to download it. The wine-mono install is limited to your Wine prefix, and you don't have to have Mono on your host system. If you don't have the wine-mono msi package on your system, and you cancel the download, it won't be installed. If you don't want to use it, and the dialog annoys you, override mscoree to disabled or native-only. Apps that don't need .NET should still work fine, but it's not a supported configuration. I can respect irrational dislike. I sort of feel that way about Java (I'll generally avoid any software that requires it). But the ideal of Wine is for all programs to just work like on Windows, and we can't get there for .NET apps without this change.

Secondly, the wine-mono addon is optional, I believe. You do not have to install it.

Mono?!?

by Max TenEyck Woodbury

When did WINE start requiring MONO? I have a VERY strong DISLIKE for MONO and do NOT want it on my machines. Seems to be a recent addition. Is it possible to NOT use it? PLEASE!
