Is it possible to run the new ASP.NET MVC 2 Preview 2 on mono?

+18  A: 

Yes. It was a bit tricky to compile from the ASP.NET MVC sources, but it works! See the screenshot.

However, this is not yet integrated/distributed with Mono. We will wait until the final release. If you want, I can upload the System.Web.Mvc.dll (2.0.0.0) I compiled and you can test it out (it needs to go in your app's bin folder until properly signed).

Update: The ASP.NET MVC2 code is now integrated in Mono (subversion trunk).

That would be nice if you could do that!

You need to put it in the bin folder of your ASP.NET MVC 2 application. Here it is: http://gonzalo.name/tmp/System.Web.Mvc.dll

ASP.NET MVC 2 shipping with Mono is good news! Can't wait to update from svn. =)

There are some issues with the included System.Web.Mvc even on mono 2.6.3. I made a repository with some fixes: http://github.com/sztupy/monosystemwebmvc

@SztupY: You should email mono-devel-list and let the maintainer know so the problems can be addressed.
