I am very interested in using 'mkbundle --deps file.cs' to see if I can effectively get a static executable for a small project I'm working on, but the errors I get when trying to do this make no sense to me. And, unfortunately, i have found mono thus far to be incredibly un-user-friendly and the documentation to be non-existent, and when it exists, very hard to track down. I am not trying to be disrespectful but it makes things needlessly frustrating to not have a StartHere.txt or something to that effect.
The particulars: Running v2.10.8 on Windows 7 Ultimate The basic Hello.cs compiles and executes properly. getting error CS0234: The type or namespace name '(getting one each for Data, Drawing, and Windows)' does not exist in the namespace 'System'. Are you missing an assembly reference? I spent several hours trying to find answers on where to go with that error and got nowhere. At one point I was advised in the Mono command prompt to check the GTK_PKG_something setting/variable, but, of course, there's no documentation that I could find anywhere telling where to actually set this variable. Do the designers of Mono assume I already know the ins and outs of Linux or something? I don't understand. I literally just need to run mkbundle for a specific project and see if it works or not. That's all. What's most furstrating of all is I got the plugin for Visual Studio, and can successfully run this project through Mono using the menus in VS, but again it's very unclear how to compile it from there, versus just doing a test run. -- View this message in context: http://mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/Where-is-documentation-for-newbies-tp4650250.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
