[Mono-osx] System.Drawing not working on OSX 10.8 (latest Mono)

[Alex Soto]

mmm this is not happening here, but I got monomac.dll compiled from source, not the one that comes with MonoDevelop

Download this 2 projects

https://github.com/mono/maccore     <- or you can directly download zip file by clicking here

https://github.com/mono/monomac   <- or you can directly download zip file by clicking here

Place maccore and monomac folders together  somewhere  ie: Desktop, see below

       /Users/yourusenamer/Desktop/maccore
       /Users/yourusenamer/Desktop/monomac

then open terminal

and go to monomac src folder, type this in terminal, don forget to replace your user name

           cd /Users/yourusenamer/Desktop/monomac/src

Once you are inside src folder just type

           make

hit enter key, and it will compile monomac.dll for you


In your monodevelop project remove the reference to monomac in your project references

then right clic on references folder > edit references and browse to  

         /Users/yourusenamer/Desktop/monomac/src

and you will find your freshly baked monomac.dll double clic on it and it should get added to your project references

Hope you can get over my instructions if not just reply :P
