Re: AW: [DotGNU] Oberon.net compat

I feel like a COMPLETE IDIOT !

The nub of the whole issue was the missing ['mscorlib'] for some of the
calls ...

like this

                call       class 'System'.'String' 
['mscorlib']'System'.'String'::'Concat'(class 'System'.'String', class 
'System'.'String')

The assembler does not produce any assembly reference for the 
class 'System'.'String' Part ... That's the linker's business ...

So I just did this .... (after replacing the 'stobj int32' with 'stind.i4'
in assembly ... who said ilasm couldn't round-trip !!)

------------------------------------------------
$ ilasm -o Obparse.obj Oberon.il
$ ilalink -o Oberon2 -L . -l Obgen -l System Obparse.obj
$ ./Oberon2

Oberon for .NET: JG, TF, PK, HH, RG, TL
Homepage: http://www.bluebottle.ethz.ch/oberon.net/
Usage:
Oberon2 <FileName> [/r:<assembly>] [/cls] [/noasm] [/v] [/dll]
---------------------------------------------------

To simplify do,

$ cscc Oberon.il -o Oberon2 -l Obgen -l System

I think we're lacking on a couple of features in the libs for this to be 
actually useful ....

I'm debugging a weird error on ReadLine() for this now... after that I'll
try to implement Process.Start() ...

PS: if you have kernel hookups (override wine) for pnet inserted with 
    "ilrun --register" you can use stuff without any ".exe" extension.
