[Mono-list] New: cross-compiling with mkbundle

[Miguel de Icaza]

Hello,


1) Will the new cross-platform mode support embedding the machine config?


My program uses web connections which relies on the configuration in

machine.config, however when I bundle a program with:


mkbundle --cross {target} --machine-config {path-to-machine.config} ....

app.exe app-native


and then try to run the output, I get the following error:


Unknown stream on embedded package: machineconfig:


Apologies, this is a bug, I will fix it.


2) Cross-compiling for macOS from Linux produces an ELF binary, rather than

a Mac binary (Mach-0?).


Is this happening because I haven't specified a runtime, just a

cross-compilation target?

It is because I made a mistake.   You can either use Mono/master, or the stable mono branch, or if you do not want to, just run mkbundle and specify the --runtime option, and pass the file to your runtime, like this:


mkbundle --runtime ~/.mono/targets/4.4.0-macos-10.7-amd64/mono

Hi Miguel,

I have 2 questions about the new mkbundle:

1) Will the new cross-platform mode support embedding the machine config?

My program uses web connections which relies on the configuration in
machine.config, however when I bundle a program with:

mkbundle --cross {target} --machine-config {path-to-machine.config} ....
app.exe app-native

and then try to run the output, I get the following error:

Unknown stream on embedded package: machineconfig:

2) Cross-compiling for macOS from Linux produces an ELF binary, rather than
a Mac binary (Mach-0?).

Is this happening because I haven't specified a runtime, just a
cross-compilation target?

Thanks,
Patrick
