Can Massive .NET ORM work on Mono for Linux?

Can the Massive .NET ORM work on Mono for Linux? If so what would need to be setup?

Solution

  • I was able to build Massive.Sqlite on Mono 2.6.10 and get selects, inserts, updates and deletes working. I haven't tried anything else yet. You can look at the examples on how to do that stuff here:

    https://github.com/robconery/massive

    A couple points to note are that you have to change two lines so they work with Mono.Data.Sqlite instead of System.Data.Sqlite.

    Replace 

    using System.Data.SQLite;

    with

    using Mono.Data.SQLite;

    I also had to change line 128 from:

    var _providerName = "System.Data.SQLite";

    to

    var _providerName = "Mono.Data.SQLite";

    If you are using MonoDevelop and create a new project you'll need to set it to use the .NET 4 profile and then add the following references to your project:

    Microsoft.CSharp
Mono.Data.Sqlite
System.Configuration
