[Mono-devel-list] Internationalisation

[Rafael Teixeira]

Hi Paul,

It seems like you didn't embed or link your resources in the
compilation command line, so sure it wouldn't find any resource to
load at run-time... Be sure to include them when compiling.

As you asked about compiling to a winexe target in another email, it
seems like you didn't do your homework on command line options for the
compiler (either csc/mcs).

Homework: go extensively over 'man mcs' and contrast with csc
documentation at msdn.

Well, but now seriously: Most people doesn't have a clue of how many
things the IDEs (VS.NET, SD, MD, XD) do behind the curtain about
compilation, so I think you won't be the last one to ask such
questions, or fumble on basic compilation concepts.

Key rule for begginers: first try 'man', and if 'man' doesn't help
enough 'google' is your handy learning tool...

:)
