[Mono-list] ALINK: error A0000: Cannot embed resources on this runtime: try the Mono runtime instead.

[Timotheus Pokorra]

Hello,

the error message originates in this part of the source code:
https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/mcs/tools/al/Al.cs#L674

It seems, that your xbuild on Windows is using the Microsoft .Net
runtime to run C:\PROGRA~2\MONO-3~1.3\lib\mono\4.5\al.exe

I just checked but I cannot find a parameter for xbuild to specify
which runtime to use for programs it calls.
Perhaps you can compile your project from MonoDevelop, where you can
specifiy the runtime? But that is just a guess.

Hopefully someone else on the list has a better idea...

Timotheus
