I can not find compiler / plugin for mono. Does it exist?

  • Go here and download fsharp.zip
  • Unzip it and open the created folder
  • Open a terminal and run. / install -mono.sh as root (on some systems it is necessary to convert newline characters to script from CRLF to LF)

This will give you basic functions, which means that you can run "mono fsi.exe" and compile F # applications as "mono myApp.exe".

Useful Tips:

  • It makes sense to create scripts for the compiler and F # interactive. i.e:.

    / Usr / local / bin / LPS

    #! / Bin / w exec / usr / bin / mono / usr / local / src / FSharp-1.9.9.9 / bin / fsc.exe $ @

    / Usr / local / bin / FSI

    #! / Bin / w exec / usr / bin / mono / usr / local / src / FSharp-1.9.9.9 / bin / fsi.exe $ @

  • F # interactive (fsi.exe) tries to refer to System.Windows.Forms by default, so Mono will need to run WinForms support

  • fsi.exe works better in Xterm than in the Gnome terminal.

For reference, there are now Linux packages (.deb and .rpm) and a Mac OS X installer available at http://fsxplat.codeplex.com/ , which will save you the trouble of manually copying files and creating your own startup scripts.

You can download the F # zip file from Microsoft , and then run (for example) "mono fsi.exe".

What Peter Zurek said is basically what I did to get F # and mono to work on Ubuntu 9.04 with the following comments:

  • Rember to install WinForm support using Mono. Otherwise, you will not be able to run fsi.exe.
  • ./install-mono.sh should be run as root (sudo./install-mono.sh).
  • Gnome terminal does not work well with fsi.exe. Run normal xterm and run fsi.exe in this.

Joe Pamer, one of the authors of the F # compiler, helped me get this work in July, I wrote the following steps here: http://saladwithsteve.com/2010/07/building-fsharp-on-the-mac.html
