[Mono-osx] Building Mono using Mono.framework [was: Can't type in textbox (2.0 and 3.0)]

[Ockert]

Thanks,
This was truly helpful. I managed to compile the framework. It however seems
to lack some libraries. When I launch my application it throws a
TypeInitializationException:…DllNotFoundException: gdiplus.dll. What else am
I missing? Do I need to set a path? Do I need to build another package
