F# Language Support for Open Editors

This project contains advanced editing support for F# for a number of open editors. It is made up of the following projects:

• F# mode for Emacs
• F# addin for MonoDevelop and Xamarin Studio
• Some reusable components shared by these (see below)

See the F# Cross-Platform Development Guide for F# with Sublime Text 2, Vim and other editors not covered here.

Building and Using

See emacs/README.md or monodevelop/README.md

Shared Components

The core shared component is FSharp.Compiler.Editor.dll from the community FSharp.Compiler.Service project. This is used by both fsautocomplete.exe, a command-line utility to sit behind Emacs, Vim and other editing environments components.

Building:

./configure.sh
make

This produces bin/fsautocomplete.exe. To understand how to use these components, see the other projects.

An old component called FSharp.CompilerBinding.dll is also present, it was used as a shim to the F# compiler before the availability of FSharp.Compiler.Editor.dll.
