Laurent,
There are a lot of mistakes that can produce this error. Anyway, could
you check the following points (even if some of them seem trivial):
- Check the code in your main method looks like the one described at
http://www.monobjc.net/index.php?page=bootstrapping .
the startup code is copied directly from the SimpleCocoa app, only the
name of the NIB is changed to match what mine is called:
class method Program.Main;
begin
ObjectiveCRuntime.LoadFramework("Cocoa");
ObjectiveCRuntime.Initialize();
NSApplication.Bootstrap();
NSApplication.LoadNib("Interface.nib");
NSApplication.RunApplication();
end;
(yes, i use Oxygene/Delphi Prism, not C#, but im 110% certain that
that's not the problem ;)
- Check the structure of your bundle is correct (see
http://www.monobjc.net/index.php?page=anatomy-of-an-application). It
is important to use the correct structure, otherwise the resources are
not found.
i didn't have the NIB in a en.lproj folder, but beyond that all looks
the same. i did try moving the NIB to the subfolder, no difference.
- How do you launch your application ? From the Finder or from the
command line ? If from the command line, do you use the startup script
<YourApp>.app/Contents/MacOS/<YourApp> ?
i use MacPack (or the equivalent of it, which we have integrated into
Visual Studio as part of Prism) to package it up as .app. i then
simply double-click the app in Finder to start. literally the exact
sam setup works for Cocoa#.
You can also check your application against one of the sample
application (like SimpleCocoaApp), to see if you can spot a difference
or use it as a starting point. Let me know if you find something.
that's the thing - that's where i did start from, and afaict looks
identical.
any further ideas?
marc
