I currently have a project that operates in Windows using P/Invokes to call the Smartcard API; however, since I’ve now open-sourced the project and put it on Google Code, I’d be interested in making it work for Linux peeps on Mono.
The blockade to doing that however, is the smartcard code; I have absolutely zero familiarity with talking to smartcards under Linux and Google searches haven’t revealed anything enlightening.
Well, I found my answer; PCSC-lite implements the entire WinSCard API in a compatible format, so all I’ve needed to do is bundle a small .exe.config with the program so that mono will replace the
DllImportforWinSCard.dllwithpcsclite.so.1at runtime and everything works out of the box.
