Hi Matthias,

Thanks a lot for taking time to try Eos on Mono and sending us the results.
Your output directly pointed to an easy bug in the Eos source code where
literal character '\' instead of platform independent variable
"Path.DirectorySeparatorChar" was used. This should fix your problem, but I
don't have a test machine running Mono over Linux. Can I ask you to do us a
favor and try the new version again and send us the results if time permits.

The new version is available from the same download link and it shouldn't
affect anyone using Eos over Microsoft's .NET platform.

Thanks again for trying Eos. I would also like to encourage you to join the
Eos discussion list to participate in the discussion about Eos. 

Rajan

P.S.: 

The download link for version 0.2.2 is

Hi EOS developers,

This is referring to your homepage:

Microsoft .NET Framework Version 1.0 and 1.1. We will be happy to  > learn
about your experiences on Mono and other .NET platforms.

I just tried to get the EOS run on mono under Linux. It doesn't work, 
and that is because it does not understand linux filenames.
In the HelloWorld example I do the linux version of the compile command 
in the build.bat which is:

HelloWorld> mono ../../bin/eos.exe -o:HelloWorld.exe MyClass.cs 
HelloWorld> MyAspect.cs

And the output is:

------------------------------------------------------------------
Eos Compiler Version 0.2

error Eos2001: Source file 
'/tmp/Eos-0.2.2/examples/HelloWorld\MyAspect.cs' could not be opened
------------------------------------------------------------------

Which is quite understandable, because the backslash is no directory 
delimiter in Unix-like systems.
Maybe, at some time you could crossplatform the interpretation of file 
names. I suppose it would work, then.

Regards,
Matthias Kempka


P.S.: CC to my professor who might be interested in such results.
