Why Banshee need Mono to be installed ?

[Faun]

I was thinking of installing it but then scraped the idea when I saw Mono in the list.

Is this thing survive over Mono only ?

Even Beagle uses Mono, any alternative to that too

^^ both beagle and banshee are built on mono framework.. thats the reason it requires mono to run...

can any one run java apps without JVM? .. nope..

 

[praka123]

yeah .it is frustrating to see this mono crap is forced to the neck on GNU/Linux users.
@T :you should consider Listen! it is a good player.

better .net off from Open Source. it is a sick thing that miguel biatch forced this on us

Yeah saw the application list on mono webpage. Its after Monkey

k Installed Banshee but the new version has lost the last fm recommendation plugin uninstalled it now and tried an in development rhythmbox last fm recommendation plugin, though it lacks threading
It isn't much different from exaile and rhythmbox !

installing listen now, but till now rhythmbox is rocking

Novell had some contract !

I guess its the ease of programming with mono that attracts programmers.
But Prakash, isn't mono opensource ? Why are you against it ?

 

[Pat]

^^ Maybe because it is sponsored by Novell that is (in)famous for getting in bed with Microsoft

Its cross platform capability which attracts programmers atlest for me .. ease of programming is just another criteria.

 

[Faun]

Listen is not compatible with gnome 2.22.3

falling back to rhythmbox

And aren't QT and GTK+ both cross platform too ? Infact, GTK is the most cross platform thing ever. It runs on most all current platforms. Solaris, BSD, Linux, Apple, Microsoft, all can run GTK.

Yea they are cross platform.. but why did you ask this question?

thought there was some other reason too.
I stated ease of use because its the only possible reason compared to native QT and GTK+.
But you said cross platform compatibility.
So I wondered if something else was in your mind.

 

[praka123]

mono rightly deserves the term "Democlise's Sword" -for GNU/Linux. It pollutes

One should not be restricted to one platform/programming language.. else there will be no zing in life.. different languages have different features and it should be explored. Once should give chance to all platforms to prove what it claims to do..

Atleast for me.. , if it wasnt for the demand of gigasmilies for linux .. I would not have looked into QT or GTK+ both are excellent

well we are getting offtopic .. lets get back to alternates for Banshee.

I thought you had deeper answers. Like the ones I see on oss vs propiatary threads where you act as moderator. I guess I am speaking to the plain old charan now.

Alternates for banshee ? Yes, Rhythembox. NEXT QUESTION ?

 

[Faun]

K guys this isn't battlefield, Metalhead get back to URT

I tried Banshee and Listen(heck is too old to start without errors), there was nothing new. So came back to the roots
