[Mono-dev] Mono Develop native menus on Mac OS X

[Rafael Teixeira]

Short answer: You need a per managed dll .config file.

http://www.mono-project.com/Interop_with_Native_Libraries#Library_Names is
particularly helpful.

Another exceprt from
http://www.mono-project.com/Interop_with_Native_Libraries

Note: Mono uses GLib to load libraries, and GLib has a bug on Mac OS X where
it doesn't use a .dylib extension, but instead uses the Unix .so extension.
While this should eventually be fixed, the current workaround is to write a
.config file which maps to the .dylib
file<http://www.mono-project.com/Interop_with_Native_Libraries#Library_Names>,
e.g.

 <configuration>
   <dllmap dll="mylib" target="mylib.dylib" />
 </configuration>



Hope it helps,
