Warning
The Codegen is currently a work-in-progress.
This is a codegen for the B extended compiler. It introduces targets that produce .NET/Mono compatible binaries.
$ git clone https://github.com/bext-lang/b
$ cd b/src/codegen/
$ git clone https://github.com/bext-lang/dotnet-mono
$ cd ../../
$ make
$ ./build/b -tlistRight now the codegen introduces two targets ilasm-mono and ilasm-core.
ilasm-mono target expects ilasm and mono executables to be available in the $PATH environment variables. Lots of Linux distros provide them via the mono packages in their official repos:
$ sudo xbps-install mono # Void Linux
$ sudo apt install mono-devel # Ubuntu
...
On Windows the mono executable isn't used so it doesn't need to be in $PATH, instead the ilasm-mono target executes the resulting binary using .NET Framework. Both .NET Framework's ilasm and .NET Core's ilasm can be used by the target to compile the binary on Windows.
.NET Core's ilasm can be also used on Linux and macOS instead of Mono's ilasm if desired.
ilasm-core target expects .NET 9 SDK/Runtime (or later) to be installed and the dotnet executable to be available in the $PATH environment variables. Lots of Linux distros provide them via dotnet-sdk-[version] (and dotnet-runtime-[version]) packages in their official repos:
$ sudo apt install dotnet-sdk-9.0 # Ubuntu
...
It also expects the ilasm executable to be in the $PATH environment variables, which can be obtained from either Mono or the .NET Core ILAsm NuGet packages linked above (recommended), the .NET Framework one can be also used on Windows.
