I need to run a Mono app that requires vbc.exe (the VB compiler). I was able to find a Fedora38 package (mono-basic) which included vbnc.exe, but no RH compatible RPM's with vbc.exe. I've been told that vbnc.exe is the old (deprecated) VB compiler, and that newer code uses vbc.exe.

The vbc.exe executable is apparently available in Ubuntu/Debian packages. Does anyone know how to get this program for a Fedora/Red Hat distro? (I'm running AlmaLinux 9 in particular).

I'm not sure where to look for help on this. The EPEL packagers request the name of a fedora package and they will port it. But with no fedora/rh package available, how does one get a program like vbc.exe ? (I'm hoping not to compile the entire mono from source)

  • If you want to stay with Mono, then compiling from the code is likely your only option at this moment as people are moving away from it https://halfblood.pro/the-end-of-mono/ – Lex Li Jul 27 '23 at 18:58
  • Are you saying people are moving away from mono? If so how are they running .net projects on Linux? – TSG Jul 31 '23 at 02:30
