Dear all,
Hello!
I hope you are doing very well.
I have written a program in C# and after a lot of efforts I could make it
compatible with mono and now I can run it on Linux without any problem but the
problem is that I need to run my software on a cluster which is not located at
my university so this might be impossible that I have access to mono on that
system. What I need to do is to run my C# program on Linux but as a single
executable file without calling mono simultaneously.
I found a tutorial entitled “Mkbundle: bundle Mono with your applications”
available at
http://forum.codecall.net/csharp-tutorials/18098-mkbundle-bundle-mono-applications.html
and tried to follow all of the instructions step by step but I could not
succeed. Please see below:

Compiling:
as -o temp.o temp.s
gcc -mno-cygwin -g -o Bundled1.exe -Wall temp.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs
mono
|dos2unix` -lz temp.o
gcc: The -mno-cygwin flag has been removed; use a mingw-targeted
cross-compiler.
[Fail]
It seems that the error message that I got (The -mno-cygwin flag has been
removed) is a famous one. I googled it and found some information as follows:
> # gcc-4 -mno-cygwin> gcc-4: The -mno-cygwin flag has been removed; use a
mingw-targeted> cross-compiler.> > However, I could find no "mingw-targeted
cross-compiler" for gcc-4> (though they seem to be there for gcc-3). Does one
exist? Not yet, but it is coming. for now, explicitly use 'gcc-3
-mno-cygwin'or switch your default gcc to version 3.x by
using/usr/bin/set-gcc-default-3.sh
By deleting gcc-4 and just using gcc-3, I got a huge number of errors and when
I don’t do that I get only one error as : The -mno-cygwin flag has been
removed; use a mingw-targeted cross-compilerAnd by using
/usr/bin/set-gcc-default-3.sh as suggested in that forum I get "access denied"
! There are some other approaches mentioned in some other forums but non of
these advice could help unfortunately.
Before trying this in windows using cygwin, I tried it in Linux as mentioned
at: http://www.mono-project.com/Guide:Running_Mono_Applications but I could not
succeed.
I also used Mono Tools for Visual Studio
(http://go-mono.com/monotools/Package.aspx) and everything was ok until step 5.
By clicking on “create package”, it starts working and shows that the package
is being built (building package … etc) but after a while Visual studio
generates a message saying that Visual studio has encountered a problem and
must be restarted. No outcome again.
To be honest with you, until now, I have spent a huge amount of time on this
issue without any outcome. I will be very very grateful to you if you do me a
favour and tell me what is wrong and how I can resolve this problem.
Thank you so much in advance and sorry to interrupt you
Best regards,
Alex
