I downloaded, compiled and installed Mono 2.10.2 on my Linux Mint 9 LXDE system, because there is an app that I need to get running (MarcEdit). MarcEdit requires the latest mono 2.10 to work, and since the mono in Mint 9 repositories is older, I decided to compile a new version from the source. That worked ok and the compilation went fine, I installed mono under /opt/mono-2.10. However when I try to start the app it says:
Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for System.Windows.Forms.XplatUI ---> System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for System.Drawing.GDIPlus ---> System.DllNotFoundException: gdiplus.dll at (wrapper managed-to-native) System.Drawing.GDIPlus:GdiplusStartup (ulong&,System.Drawing.GdiplusStartupInput&,System.Drawing.GdiplusStartupOutput&) at System.Drawing.GDIPlus..cctor () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Drawing.Graphics.FromHdcInternal (IntPtr hdc) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at System.Windows.Forms.XplatUIX11.SetDisplay (IntPtr display_handle) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at System.Windows.Forms.XplatUIX11..ctor () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at System.Windows.Forms.XplatUIX11.GetInstance () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at System.Windows.Forms.XplatUI..cctor () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.Windows.Forms.Application.EnableVisualStyles () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at MarcEdit.SubMain.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 I think this is due to the lack of Windows.System.Forms component in mono, but where on earth can I get that? The only think I can find is this page: http://www.mono-project.com/WinForms, but it doesn't have a download link or anything like that. -- View this message in context: http://mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/System-Windows-Forms-is-where-exactly-tp4019414p4019414.html Sent from the Mono - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
