[Mono-dev] Mono 2.8 gnome-sharp not compiling...

[Quandary]

Hi,

Good.
But in the meantime, comment that sample out in that official zip-file.
You do everyone who downloads it to compile a favour.

Line 449 + 450 of the generated makefile in that folder
#TestXfer.exe: $(srcdir)/TestXfer.cs $(assemblies)
#    $(CSC) /out:TestXfer.exe $(references) -r:Mono.GetOptions.dll 
$(srcdir)/TestXfer.cs

and from EXTRA_TARGETS =
in line 221 of the generated makefile.


And another thing:

I was eager to see the improvements in mono 2.8 & winforms, whether the 
errors in my mailserver are now gone...

so I ran LumiSoft mailserver again with mono 2.8...
http://www.lumisoft.ee/lswww/download/downloads/MailServer/

with which I already had some issues on mono here, which I was able to fix:
http://www.lumisoft.ee/Forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=673 
<http://www.lumisoft.ee/Forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=673>

And I was quite a bit surprised by the result:

Now one thing I'm curisous about is, how come a control as complex as a 
treeview is displayed near flawlessly, while a control as trivial and 
often used as a button still aligns text vertically at the bottom or why 
the GroupBox suddenly only displays the first character...

You know, I know it may seem trivial, but sometimes it would be helpful 
if one still saw the captions of the GroupBoxes/Labels/Buttons... 
especially if one wants to sell a product some time in the future, since 
all a prospective customer sees is the GUI.

Of course, GTK# works better, but because it draws its own widgets, it 
looks kinda old-fashioned on Windows, which unfortunately still has 85% 
marketshare. wxWidgets is better in that respect, but it lacks broad 
support.
