[Mono-osx] Still trouble with 1.1.17

[Gareth Baker]

Platypus comes with a command line executable so you can actually add
something like this to a makefile:

/usr/local/bin/platypus -a $(APP) -i mono.icns -f $(APP).exe $(APP).sh
/Users/Shared/Development/CSharp/$(APP_DIR)/$(APP)

And not have to use the GUI version.
