===== WComp on Phidget 107x =====

{{:public_namespace:phidgets.jpg?|}} As on Linux platform, WComp needs Mono to execute C# code. The phidget packages' repository contains Mono, so we will install this in order to user WComp.

In order install Mono on Phidget SBC 107x, do the following:
  * Update the system installed on your platform. After being loggued as super user (root), you must upgrade it using:
<code>apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade</code>
  * Go to the web interface of your platform and go to //System / Packages// and check //Include Full Debian Repository// and //Save Changes//. Then //Refresh Available Packages// and //Upgrade All Packages//. Your system is now uptodate. 
  * Install the mono environment:
<code>apt-get install mono-runtime mono-gmcs libmono-system-web2.0-cil</code>
  * Enable phidget for .NET environment
<code>
apt-get install libphidget21-dev
apt-get install wget unzip
wget http://www.phidgets.com/downloads/libraries/Phidget21-windevel_2.1.8.20121015.zip
unzip Phidget21-windevel_2.1.8.20121015.zip
gacutil -i phidget21-windevel/Phidget21.NET.dll
ln -s /usr/lib/mono/gac/Phidget21.NET/*/* /usr/lib/mono/2.0/Phidget21.NET.dll
</code>
  * Unzip SharpWCompContainer where you want, to be able to us it.

===== WComp on Raspberry Pi =====

{{:public_namespace:raspberrypi.png?65|}} As on Linux platform, WComp needs Mono to execute C# code. Current Raspberry Pi distribustion are compiled for ARM with support for "hard float" which means that float computation are done directly by the processor and not by a soft evaluation.

But for the moment, Mono has a [[https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7938|known bug on "hard float" version]]. So we need to use a "soft float" distribution which is not available anymore on Raspberry Pi web site.

In order to use WComp on Raspberry Pi, you will have to do the following:
  * Download the {{:telechargement:2013-05-29-wheezy-armel.img.7z|Debian "soft float"}} distribution
  * If you are using a Raspberry Pi Rev B with 512MB, you should replace the files {{:telechargement:bootcode.bin|bootcode.bin}} and {{:telechargement:start.elf|start.elf}} after writing the system on SD card in order to be able to boot you system.
  * Upgrade your system: 
<code>
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
</code>
  * When logged in, install mono environment: 
<code>
sudo apt-get install mono-complete
</code>
  * Unzip SharpWCompContainer where you want, to be able to us it.
