F# on Mono for Android

android, f#, xamarin.android

Solution

Since F# has gone open-source you can compile the FSharp.Core.dll against the Mono framework.

The F# compiler source code is here http://fsharp.github.com/fsharp/

Here are some instructions on how to get this working with Mono for Android

Basically you reference the Mono for Android mscorlib.dll and the FSharp.Core.dll that you compiled against the Mono framework from your F# project.

Problem

I bought Mono for Android from Xamarin and am very impressed so far except I would really like to use F# instead of C#. Has anyone managed to get F# running using this tool?
