[Gtk-sharp-list] Windows Problem

[Jonathan Pryor]

I'm not entirely sure I'm understanding you, but I think you're asking
about why the Gtk# .dlls need to be in the same directory as the
application, and not in, say, %WINDIR%\system.

The answer is that mono doesn't currently support strong naming
assemblies, which is the only way to get an assembly into the Global
Assembly Cache (GAC).

We could special-case the Windows build so that the Gtk# dlls are
strong-named, but that wasn't done (I forget the exact reasons, but I
think timing and not wanting to special case the build steps were some
of the reasons).

Thus, for now, the Gtk# dlls MUST be in the directory of each
application that's running.

Sorry,
