[Mono-dev] unable to run VB.NET or C# applications on OS X

[Andy Hume]

Unfortunately I can't offer any advice on OS X questions -- I know
nothing (apart from google; maybe
http://www.mono-project.com/Problem:GDIPlusInit#MacOS_X).

For general advice on porting to Mono however, I agree with the advice
in http://www.mono-project.com/Guide:_Porting_Winforms_Applications  As
you are used to Windows, ignore OS X for now, for the first period only
test with Mono on *Windows*.  Get confortable with that, or get to the
stage where your app runs there.

*Only* once you are comfortable with Mono on Windows, having made any
changes to get the app working (partially?) there, then start looking at
Mono on your OS X box.
