[Mono-devel-list] Re: [Mono-winforms-list] GDI Problem

[Peter Dennis Bartok]

The .dmg installer should install everything you need, including libgdplus, 
yes.

But to run a SWF application, you cannot run 'mono <app>.exe directly, you 
need to use the 'macpack' application. Since I am not a Mac user, I cannot 
give you more detail, but afaik it is described in the readme for the mac 
distribution.

Cheers,
  Peter
