Hi. I just modified the mono PE/COFF writer to include in the binary files we create the linker magic that will automatically exec the program with the ms runtime (_CorExeMain etc.).
It works, but there are two issues: 1) PEVerify still complains with the following error: [IL](0x801318F0): Error: Unverifiable PE Header/native stub. Any idea what it is complaining about? The runtime loads and executes the program just fine, ildasm can disassemble it etc. Also, it happens only with some files. I can send a sample on request, since I don't think the charter for the list allows attachments... 2) The version in the metadata root is defined by the spec as a value to ignore on read (Partition II, 23.2.1). I used to put "mono-version" there, but the ms runtime uses it to lookup mscorwks.dll in /cygdrive/h/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/mono-version/. So to make it load correctly I had to use the current ms CLR version (v1.0.3705). The problem is that it probably won't work with the next .net update. How should I workaround this issue? Thanks. lupus -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] debian/rules [EMAIL PROTECTED] Monkeys do it better You can read messages from the Advanced DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from Advanced DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
