WComp on Raspberry Pi

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.

In order to use WComp on Raspberry Pi, you will have to do the following:

• 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:

sudo apt-get install mono-complete

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