(If they were direct dependencies --- meaning that .Net bindings used them directly --- then Mono couldn't exist.)
I don't know all the details but I do know that .Net is written in C++/com and mono does not have any com. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think calling native from managed is somewhat cross platform via p/invoke but the other way is achieved through either microsoft's api or through mono's api as described herehttp://www.mono-project.com/Embedding_Mono#Invoking_Methods_in_the_CIL_unive... . I said in my previous email that afaik there isn't a com for *nix but I have since found this http://linux.lsdev.sil.org/wiki/index.php/Libcom that you could try as a drop in replacement. Best of luck if you try this approach. Thanks Tim
