SharpWComp Installation

Required packages for the installation are listed in the download page. You can find the documentation in the page corresponding to each WComp release. Here are all the versions of WComp which are available on this website. You can find all the details for installing, requirements and documentation for each release.

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 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.

  • You have to download the Debian "soft float" distribution
  • If you are using a Raspberry Pi Rev B with 512MB, you should replace the files bootcode.bin and start.elf after writing the system on SD card in order to be able to boot you system.
  • Upgrade your system:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
  • When logged in, install mono environment:

<ode> sudo apt-get install mono-runtime </code>

  • Unzip SharpWCompContainer where you want, to be able to us it.
