19 MonoDevelop (IDE)
19.1 Introduction
MonoDevelop
is a common open source I ntegrated D evelopment E nivironment (IDE) for .NET
programming on Linux systems. It can be used to develop applications in various .NET programming
languages like C#. The sample applications on the mvBlueLYNX-X SDK and tool chain CD/DVD are created
with Microsoft Visual Studio® on Windows PCs and tested on the mvBlueLYNX-X using MonoDevelop.
mvBlueLYNX-X - Introduction to Mono
19.2 Requirements
19.2.1 Development System
19.2.1.1 Windows
No special knowledge regarding the mvIMPACT Acquire .NET interface is required to compile and link
.NET applications using the mvIMPACT Acquire interface.
The application has to be compiled for 32 bit systems (select x86 in Visual Studio).
19.2.1.2 Linux
If you want to import and build the samples from the CD/DVD, you first have to install MonoDevelop and
the
mv.impact.acquire
assembly (for Ubuntu users):
Since firmware version 1.5, this installation process is not necessary when using the LiveDVD and
Virtual Machine, because the LiveDVD is preconfigured for Mono development.
sudo aptitude install mono-2.0-devel libgdiplus
sudo gacutil -i ./mv.impact.acquire.dll -package mv.impact.acquire
Afterwards, you have to set the assembly reference
/usr/lib/mono/mv.impact.acquire/mv.impact.acquire.dll
in MonoDevelop.
Now, it is possible to build a project together with the source code (e.g. SingleCapture.cs).
Under Linux all the datatypes belonging to the namespace
mv.impact.acquire.display
will
currently not be available, because the underlying native code modules for image displaying are not
available under Linux.
19.2.2 Target System
19.2.2.1 mvBlueLYNX-X
To run the .NET samples on the mvBlueLYNX-X you also have to install the mono and mvIMPACT Acquire
.NET IPK packages:
opkg install mono
opkg install mvimpact-acquire-dotnet
