Description Carlos Silva (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-18 08:01:35 UTC 
When, in MonoDevelop we choose to run a program that was previously imported, we should have winelib installed to run the "program" or else it will fail the execution

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Import a program in MonoDevelop (from Windows to Linux)
2. "Compile All"
3. "Run"

Actual Results:  
an error message appears saying that it couldn't load  winelib.exe.so

Expected Results:  
Program should run

As MonoDevelop has Mono as dependency, i thought that the best was to put the
dependency into Mono itself.

This is definitely not a good solution for many reasons. One, winelib dep means a dep on wine. Two, winelib is deprecated, and is no longer being developed/worked on by the mono folks. A new version of SWF is under way all in managed code.

For now, yeah, it sucks because people wanted to do windows GUI development are without a good solution. Adding winelib as a dep for everyone is just not gonna work though.

Sorry.
