Run the. NET program on Mac OS X with your own compiled CORECLR

When it was difficult to compile CORECLR on Mac OS X yesterday (see the attempt to compile CoreCLR source code on Mac OS X), it was later discovered that the puzzle was solved by the man-in-the-@kangaroo, and even CoreCLR's Microsoft developers were surprised (see #105).

@kangaroo this is awesome! Thank much for doing it! I ' ll start reviewing it in the morning.

Today, it is found that the version that can be compiled on OS X @kangaroo modified has been incorporated into the main branch of CORECLR (see Merge Pull Request #117 from Kangaroo/osx), and the direct git checkout will compile. If the "not found for architecture x86_64" error occurs at compile time, you need to remove the binaries folder and recompile.

After compiling successfully, you will see the following three files in the Binaries/product/amd64/debug folder:

Corerunlibcoreclr.dyliblibmscordaccore.dylib

Immediately after the success of the compilation of joy, an impulse arises--with this self-compiled CORECLR run. NET programs.

To run. NET program, it is found that Binaries/product/amd64/debug is missing an important file--mscorlib.dll, and I do not know why it was not generated at compile time.

@kangaroo also know this problem, send this file to me (if you need it, you can download it here), and then copy the file to Binaries/product/amd64/debug.

The next step is to prepare to run. NET program, suddenly thought of reading the garden before the post with CIL writing procedures: Hello, Wald, according to hand-knocked out a paragraph. NET console Application (code below), why not use this?

. assembly extern mscorlib{    . Ver 4:0:0:0    . PublicKeyToken = (B7 7A 5C) E0 '}.assembly ' {    . c ustom instance void class [Mscorlib]system.runtime.compilerservices.runtimecompatibilityattribute:: '. ctor ' () = ( In the 4E 6F 6E of each of the above        -the    ---------- HM 0x00008004    . Ver  0:0:0:0}.module HelloWorld.exe.method static void Main () {    . entrypoint    . maxstack 1    ldstr "Hello, world!"    call void [Mscorlib]system.console::writeline (String)        ret}

The IL code is then born into Assembly HelloWorld.exe with the ILAsm of Mono:

ILAsm helloworld.il

The HelloWorld.exe is then copied to the Binaries/product/amd64/debug, and now there are 5 files in this folder:

/git/dotnet/coreclr/binaries/product/amd64/ DebugHelloWorld.execorerunlibcoreclr.dyliblibmscordaccore.dylibmscorlib.dll

Exciting moments of tension come, let's try to run HelloWorld.exe with our own compiled CORECLR:

$./corerun Helloworld.exehello, world!

Yes! Success!

Although this is only a small step, while implementing a. NET application on a Mac is a long way off, the excitement of. NET open source has arrived!
