[Gtk-sharp-list] gtksharpglue-2

[Rafael Teixeira]

Hi Miguel Angel,

gtksharpglue.dll is a native (non .NET) library that is called by the
GTK# managed libs, you need it to be in the same directory where the
managed lib is being run from or in the PATH.

See that normally VS.NET copies the managed libraries to the directory
where it compiles your exe (different places for each configuration
like Debug e Release), but it doesn't know that it should copy the
native ones.

As you already know: native libs can't be referenced in the project.
One possible way to do it is to add the native dll files to the
project like if they were config/doc files, only be sure they are
tagged for the correct build action: source files are tagged to be
compiled, and normally all the other files are tagged to be copied,
that is what you need.

Hope it helps,
