Hi, I have recently tried to upgrade from Mono 2.4 to 2.4.2.2 in Windows XP, which comes with gtk-sharp-2.12.9 In Windows I use 'mkbundle' [1] to generate from my c# app an executable file that can be launched on a computer that doesn't not have mono installed. mkbundle builds a new executable that embeds all the assemblies needed by the c# executable to run.(I attach the output) My aplication does not depends on Winforms and using Mono 2.4 I can launch it without any problems. But when I use Mono 2.4.2.2 I run into this exception:
Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for Gtk.Application ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Windows.Forms, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. File name: 'System.Windows.Forms, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' at System.AppDomain.Load (System.String assemblyString, System.Security.Policy.Evidence assemblySecurity, Boolean refonly) [0x00000] at System.AppDomain.Load (System.String assemblyString) [0x00000] at (wrapper remoting-invoke-with-check) System.AppDomain:Load (string) at System.Reflection.Assembly.Load (System.String assemblyString) [0x00000] at Gtk.Application..cctor () [0x00000] --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at ChronoJump..ctor (System.String[] args) [0x00000] at ChronoJump.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00000] Does that means that with gtk-sharp-2.12.9 I need System.Windows.Forms to run a Gtk app? Why does Gtk.Application has a runtime dependency on System.Windows.Forms and why mkbundle is not even aware of this dependency and does not include this assembly in the bundle? It also happens with 2.4.2.3 so I believe it's a gtk-sharp issue In the meanwhile,I have switched back to 2.4 and gtk-sharp 2.12.7 hoping that somebody can give an explanation ;) Cheers Andoni Morales Alastruey [1] http://git.gnome.org/cgit/chronojump/tree/build/windows_bundle/build/makeBundle.sh
