For anyone interested, I will release my binary builds here.
The .NET runtime is already released as a build artifact. I will set up build scripts for the .NET SDK as well as the NuGet feeds later today. After that I will provide further installation instructions.
HaikuPorts releases are currently impossible because:
- The current branch is using a prerelease version of .NET 8.
- Many PRs are waiting to get merged upstream.
- No official documentation (at least, not among the ones I know) on how to create packages that have themselves as a build prerequisite. Probably creating an initial dummy package that downloads pre-built binaries and then use that one to bootstrap another “revision” of the recipe might work?
- Unconventional installation layout. All of .NET lives in one directory, and it should be writable so that additional workloads or other optional components can be installed through NuGet, instead of being divided into
/bin,/lib, etc. like other UNIX applications.
