I have just installed a new Linux box (Ubuntu Desktop 9.04) (corporatate mandate to use Linux for our external websites) and installed Mono, MonoDevelop (2.0).

I then proceeded to download mojoPortal 2.3.0.1 sqlite and decompressed it and dropped it into /var/www and I was welcomed with various issues - I found what I needed to comment out of Web.config to get it past the internal issues but was ultimately halted at a point: Could not load type 'mojoPortal.Web.MonoCompilationSection, mojoPortal.Web'.

So I figured I needed to compile it from source.

I downloaded the source edition and loaded the .mds and hit F7 - it crunched away for a bit but then I was greeted with (in the middle of the compile):

/home/christian/Desktop/sourcecode/mojoportal/mojoPortal.Web.Framework/DateTimeHelper.cs(142,28): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `TimeZoneInfo' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?
/home/christian/Desktop/sourcecode/mojoportal/mojoPortal.Web.Framework/DateTimeHelper.cs(245,23): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `TimeZoneInfo' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?
/home/christian/Desktop/sourcecode/mojoportal/mojoPortal.Web.Framework/DateTimeHelper.cs(255,72): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `TimeZoneInfo' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

Build complete -- 3 errors, 2 warnings

I looked at the first instance of the error and there is a comment indicating that this is known.

/// <summary>

/// The plan is to use this for setting the site default time zone and user time zones.

/// As of 2009-04-06 its throwing NotImplementedException on Mono if you invoke this method.

/// So we are holding off on using it for now to keep from breaking compatibility with Mono.

/// TimeZoneInfo is a new class in 3.5 .NET

/// https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=492924

/// </summary>

The question is: How do I get around this - more specifically - what is the appropriate workaround. I am confident that I could hack a new TimeZoneInfo object, but is that the right thing to do?)

Is there a specific Binary available for Mono, one that has all the Web.config stuff already done for me?

I will donate $15 if I can have this before Friday the 1st of May!

Thanks!
