Hi All,
I have downloaded the latest Debian eMMC flash image and flashed the same on BBB board using SD card. It is working fine. I want to install Mono on the same.
When i give the command
#sudo apt-get install mono-complete — it is throwing error saying cannot install.
How to install the same.
Best Regards,
Sheela
What exactly is the error? mono-complete is a valid debian package.

The package does not exist. Which probably means there are some binaries which have not yet been ported to ARM. OR hold one. . …
Yeap, the above commands were issues on the BBB while the below issued on my i386 support system.
william@debian:~$ sudo apt-cache search mono-complete
mono-complete - complete Mono runtime, development tools and all libraries
william@debian:~$
So the package does not exist for the ARM platform.
"mono" hasn't been ported to debian's "armhf" subarch yet. It does
exist in the "armel" archives.
Someone put up a howto guide on github on building mono on wheezy
armhf, it just escapes me a the moment where it was.
Regards,
Ok I stand corrected. I keep forgetting about armel and armhf differences ( mainly because I only use armhf ).
I did also want to mention that in package form mono runtimes are rather limited for armhf. But I also have seen this github guide Robert mentioned above. Personally, I gave up on it long ago and moved to Nodejs. Since Node.js satisfies all my own needs.
