[Mono-dev] macpack question

[Frank Bergmann]

Hi, 

I'm not sure whether this is the right list to ask about macpack ... anyway
here it goes:

I have a winforms app, with two references that I would like to bundle in an
app-bundle to make it more intuitive to run the app on OS X 10.4.x. I invoke
macpack with:

macpack -n:AppName -a:executableAssembly -r:reference1 -r:reference2
-m:winforms

when I execute the app-bundle from Finder, I see the following two messages
on the Console.log:

mono: /usr/bin/mono: cannot execute binary file
/Users/<name/path/appbundle>/Contents/MacOS/<exetuable>: line 42:
./bin/<AppName>: No such file or directory

If I start the AppBundle from the same Terminal/Directory from where I
created it: I get the following output in Console.log:

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set
to an instance of an object at <execAssembly>.Form1.Main(System.String[]
args) [0x00000]

If I start the AppBundle from an X11 shell I get the stacktrace below this
message. 

I have been trying the other options x11/cocoa also with little success ... 

This problem existed in all mono-versions I tried (including 1.1.18_0) 

Thanks for your help
Frank

P.S: ... maybe I should point out that the app is running happily when
executed with mono <appName> from a X11-shell

Got a SIGSEGV while executing native code. This usually indicates
a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries 
used by your application.
