[Mono-dev] mkbundle2 and libMonoPosixHelper.so

[danwalmsley]

Hi,

    I used mkbundle to generate an all in one executable for Linux, I ran it
on a fresh install of kubuntu, and I get the error 

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was
thrown by the type initializer for Mono.Unix.Native.Syscall --->

However if I copy the file /usr/lib/libMonoPosixHelper.so from my build
system to the target (fresh kubuntu install) in the same directory every
thing is working fine.

    Is there a problem with mkbundle2 (this also happens with mkbundle)?
Surely we shouldn't have to distribute these library modules alongside our
application? I used the mkbundle2 --deps command to make sure all
dependancies are included.
