Is this the mkbundle tool?

No, mkbundle merely embeds the runtime and the libraries.

The linker reduces the size of the libraries.

Subject: Re: [Mono-list] Mono port to ARM

Hello,

Truly great news about that port - I was wondering when I will be able
to use mono for mobile developemnt - and here it is :)
But I have also some questions about that port:
- what S support is included in mono I abstraction layer? Linux
only, I suppose (so we can expect packages for openZaurus/familiar :)?
),
- what about GTK# support? Can one use normal gtk# widgeds and they
will be handeled properly on small displays (most often 320x240)?

It should work, but for small devices you might want to look into
trimming down Gtk# to the minimal set of APIs required for it.

This could be doing by hacking Gtk# to support different profiles, or
even better by creating the linking tool that trims down libraries (the
tool we have discussed in the context of Cecil).

The ARM port has been tested on the Debian ARM port (both little and big
endian). The Mono I layer is basically the same as the Win32 one: if it
has any relation to WinCE/PocketPC, such a port should be mostly
trivial.

Gtk# works on Mono ARM: the size of the widgets has nothing to do with
the Mono port, just configure Gtk+ to use a small font, set yourself the
size of the windows etc.
- does that port run on StrongARM CPUs as well as on ARM?

It has been tested on armv5, but it should also work on armv4 (which I
think includes StrongARM) and of course any later version.
Currently only the FPA FP model is implemented (this is what is used by
the Linux ABI): in the future soft-float and VFP could be implemented as
well (note the Linux kernel emulates FPA hw if not present).
If people want me to do more testing for specific processors, send me
the hardware;-)
