[Mono-list] deployment w/ run time of mono?
I made an Exe application using Mono on Linux. How do I deploy it to Mac, Windows users? is there a mono run-time? what about dependent libraries I make? thx, .V ___ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list

You copy the .exe and all .dll's it depends on to your target machine. You don't need to copy .dll's provided with Mono (such as mscorlib.dll and System.dll). > is there a mono run-time? Yes, and the mono runtime is platform-specific. You'll need Mono for each platform you want to run your app on (Mac, Linux, Windows), or install .NET under Windows (assuming your app is portable). > what about dependent libraries I make? You need to distribute those as well. Usually you just place them in the same directory as the .exe. - Jon ___ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list

Everything under that prefix is part of mono's runtime. :-) Alternatively, grab the x86 Linux installer, install it into a custom location, and look at everything under that location. See: http://www.mono-project.com/Downloads http://www.go-mono.com/archive/1.1.7/installer/mono-1.1.7-installer.bin This will include: - $prefix/etc/mono/* (configuration files) - $prefix/bin (55 files in my install, including mcs, mono, ilasm) - $prefix/lib (40 files in my install, including libmono.so, libMonoPosixHelper.so, libikvm-native.so, and many Gtk# libraries such as libgtksharpglue-2.so) - $prefix/lib/mono/1.0: .NET 1.1 profile symlinks into GAC - $prefix/lib/mono/2.0: .NET 2.0 profile symlinks into GAC - $prefix/lib/mono/gac/*: Global Assembly Cache > 2. how do I make my app portatable ? Through design and testing. Either don't rely on features present on only one platform (such as COM interop to host Internet Explorer), or use equivalents for each platform (IE under .NET, Gecko# under Mono). There are a variety of design patterns you can use to cleanly use platform-specific code while providing fallbacks for other platforms. You might try reading "Cross-Platform .NET", which covers writing portable code: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1590593308/qid=1116934539/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/102-5201622-2360109?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 - Jon ___ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
