[antlr-interest] C# Target: Problems with Mono

Tue Mar 1 13:00:33 PST 2011

hello,

I am trying to generate C# code from my grammar for use with Mono2
(v1.9).

I tried to use the C# runtime binaries (ANTLR-3.1-2009-06-28.7z):
$ cd ANTLR-binary/
$ mono Antlr3.exe 

** (Antlr3.exe:4230): WARNING **: Missing method System.Reflection.Emit.DynamicMethod::.ctor(string,Type,Type[]) in assembly /usr/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll, referenced in assembly /home/felix/doks/CSMath/ANTLR/ANTLR-binary/Antlr3.StringTemplate.dll

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for Antlr3.Tool.ErrorManager ---> System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for Antlr3.ST.StringTemplateGroup ---> System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'System.Reflection.Emit.DynamicMethod..ctor'.
  at Antlr3.ST.StringTemplateGroup..cctor () [0x00000] --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
[...]

I also tried to recompile the Runtime:

----------------------

Next I tried to copy over the generated Lexer + Parser (with options
{language=CSharp2;}) to a C# Project (using Monodevelop) and reference
Antlr3.Runtime.dll in the solution.  But then I get these errors
(I guess this is because the c#-runtime-binaries are for antlr 3.1):

[...]
----------------------

Note that there is
  using Antlr.Runtime;
at the top of simpleexprLexer.cs.

Previous postings suggest that the C# Target should work out of the box
with Mono. I am using Mono 1.9 (Debian Lenny).

Sorry for the verbosity and thanks in Advance!
