Re: [Mono-dev] [PATCH] Adding to the PInvoke search path.
Hi, What about searching prefix/lib as well automatically that would eliminate the need for LD_LIBRARY_PATH when using prefix not searched by ld? Kornél 2009/6/1 Bill Holmes billholme...@gmail.com: Hi, The attached patch was discussed on IRC last week. We found that MS.Net uses the directory of the declaring assembly when searching for shared libraries to invoke unmanaged code. The outcome of the conversation was that we did not want the behavior by default in Mono. However an environment variable could control this behavior. Whit this patch setting MONO_PINVOKE_SEARCH to USE_ASSEMBLY_PATH will enable this. -bill 2009-06-01 Bill Holmes billholme...@gmail.com * loader.c (mono_loader_init): Check for and process the MONO_PINVOKE_SEARCH environment variable. * loader.c (mono_lookup_pinvoke_call): If MONO_PINVOKE_SEARCH is set to USE_ASSEMBLY_PATH, add the declaring assembly directory to resolve shared libraries.

Re: [Mono-dev] [PATCH] Adding to the PInvoke search path.
After more discussion on IRC this it was decided to do this using the dllmap and not an environment variable. If the target is set to . the declaring assembly directory will be used when attempting to locate the un-manged library. -bill 2009-06-03 Bill Holmes billholme...@gmail.com * loader.c (mono_lookup_pinvoke_call): If the dllmap target is equal to . the declaring assembly path will be used to find the shared library first.
