The native wrapper libraries would still be needed, unless you are proposing to reimplement all of gtk+ inside gtk# as managed code. > This would make deployment much easier! > > A worst case scenario: > I user wants to run a simple Mono/GTK# application and is a real newbie. > First he has to install Mono, but the application still does not work. > Now he tries to install GTK# but there are so many dependencies because > of GTK+.... > This user will use a wore C app before installing all required tools... It's up to the packager to correctly specify all the dependencies, just as it is for the packager of the C app. When the app requires the gtk# package, the gtk# package will require gtk+ and all the other native libraries. - Dick _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
