Hi I have made a small GUI program in C# / Gtk# that runs fine on my Ubuntu installation. I'd like the program to also run on other distributions, and even Windows (using either mono or MS .NET), if possible without forcing the user to install Gtk# first. Can this be done? Someone told me that I can just copy the appropriate dlls to the same dir as the .exe file but that doesn't seem to work properly when I test it on a Fedora Core 3 installation with mono.
I use the following in my program: using System; using System.Collections; using System.IO; using Gtk; using Gnome; using GLib; I have the copied all the dlls from /usr/lib/mono/gtk-sharp-2.0/ to the same dir as the .exe file. These are: art-sharp.dll atk-sharp.dll gconf-sharp.dll gconf-sharp.dll gconf-sharp-peditors.dll gdk-sharp.dll glade-sharp.dll glib-sharp.dll gnome-sharp.dll gnome-vfs-sharp.dll gtk-dotnet.dll gtkhtml-sharp.dll gtk-sharp.dll pango-sharp.dll rsvg-sharp.dll vte-sharp.dll (I know many of the files are probably not needed, but I just copied them all to be sure) When I try it on the Fedora system, I get the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DizniLogsTest]$ mono DizniLogs.exe Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for GLib.GType ---> System.DllNotFoundException: libgobject-2.0-0.dll in (wrapper managed-to-native) GLib.GType:g_type_init () in <0x001ee> GLib.GType:.cctor ()--- End of inner exception stack trace --- in <0x00000> <unknown method> in <0x000a7> Gtk.TreeStore:.ctor (System.Type[] types) in <0x0009c> MyProgram:.ctor (System.String[] args) in <0x00019> MainClass:Main (System.String[] args) I can't seem to find the libgobject-2.0-0.dll file anywhere on the Ubuntu system, though, but I did find a file called libgobject-2.0.so -- however the same error message appears even though this file is in the directory. So, my question is: Can this be done at all? If so, how? I know this is not the usual way to do things on Linux, but for this specific program it makes the most sense. Oh, and someone suggested to me to enable static linking while compiling so that the needed libraries are compiled into the .exe file. Can this be done in this case, and if so: How do I do that from monodevelop?
