Issues for compiling under Mono

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm trying to start small, with one component at a time. I'm starting in
the SyntaxBox/Alsing.SyntaxBox/Document and have a makefile that works with
Mono's compiler, gmcs, verion 1.9.1.

1) The first issue I encountered was the lines "Text = Text;" I'm not sure
what the meaning of those lines is, but for whatever reason, this puts the
mono runtime into an infinite loop. I've commented those lines out. That
makes with:

gmcs -recurse:*.cs -unsafe \
        -r:System.Windows.Forms.dll -r:System.Drawing.dll \
        -target:library -out:Document.dll

Safe was required because:
./Parser/ParseTools.cs(25,35): error CS0227: Unsafe code requires the
`unsafe' command line option to be specified

2) Next, working on SyntaxBox/Samples/HelloWorld/ but I didn't want to
build SyntaxBox controller yet. Is there is a way to not use the controller?

I see what the Text = Text is supposed to do, and attempting to track down this
infinite loop. I've added a Main to
SyntaxBox/Alsing.SyntaxBox/Document/SyntaxDocument.cs:

public static void Main(string [] args) {
   SyntaxDocument sd = new SyntaxDocument();
   sd.SyntaxFile = "Python.syn";
   sd.Text = "x = 7";
}

and get a loop. Is that proper usage? I've copied Python.syn to the local dir. 
Looks
like ParseQueue.Count is always 1.

I made some progress compiling under Mono 1.9.1 and Mono 2.0. But, there 
appears to
be a bug in the GDI that prevent it from working (stack dump below). Things 
that need
to be adjusted:

1) In Resourses.resx, filenames cases don't match. Linux is case sensitive, so 
I had
to change those. See make file for making Resources.resources.

2) Some hardcoded paths (in HelloWorld for example)

I also attached SyntaxBox/Alsing.SyntaxBox/Makefile and
SyntaxBox/Samples/HelloWorld/Makefile in case anyone wants to pick this up from 
here.

SyntaxBox now builds directly with Mono 2.7's xbuild, with the attached diff 
applied,
with "xbuild Alsing.SyntaxBox.sln". The patch fixes the cases of filenames for 
those
systems whose filesystem pays attention to case.

But, doesn't run with the same error as above.
