Are there any DLL files that an application written in Nemerle needs to include?

Question

When I deploy an application written in Nemerle, are there any DLL files specific for Nemerle that needs to be installed? If there are such DLL files, which are they?

Answer 1

Optionally Nemerle.dll if you make use of things like "list". Also if you use Nemerle's linq provider then you would need Nemerle.Linq.

In more detail, Nemerle has 4 primary assemblies:

1. NCC.exe: A thin executable wrapper over Nemerle.Compiler.dll
2. Nemerle.Compiler.dll: The compiler itself.
3. Nemerle.dll: A library for things like list[T]
4. Nemerle.Macros.dll : Macros. Macros embeded in to your program when building so you generally don't need this dll to run your application
5. (Optional) Nemerle.Linq.dll: It has been considerd if linq macro should be part of Standart Library, but it relies on System.Core which is only for .NET 3.5+. So in order to support .net 2.0, this is an external macro.
