[Mono-winforms-list] Re: Error running monostub.exe.so after following directions

[2a5gjx302@sneakemail.com]

Another update: While monostub was building, I remember seeing a number of
'pkg-config' errors, something about how it couldn't find package 'mono'
and that I should tell it where to find mono.pc. As I am fairly new to
linux, I didn't really know what this was about, but I've done a bit more
digging and it seems that basically monostub wasn't linked against the mono
libraries. There was no mention of mono.pc anywhere, but I found a file by
that name in the 'mono' project from CVS (after build).

I should also mention that the monostub build process (as of CVS from the
24th of April) is broken with the version of wine I have (20030408). Some
of the arguments to 'winebuild' need '--' instead of '-' before them, for
instance:

in the makefile:
winebuild -D -sym monostub.exe.tmp.o -o monostub.exe.spec.c -exe
monostub.exe -mgui -L/usr/local/lib/wine -lcomdlg32 -lshell32 -luser32
-lgdi32 -lkernel32

what my winebuild wants:
winebuild -D -sym monostub.exe.tmp.o -o monostub.exe.spec.c
--exe=monostub.exe -mgui -L/usr/local/lib/wine -lcomdlg32 -lshell32
-luser32 -lgdi32 -lkernel32

in the makefile:
winebuild -o monostub.exe.dbg.c -debug -C. monostub.c

what my winebuild wants:
winebuild -o monostub.exe.dbg.c --debug -C. monostub.c

Finally, I have it running monostub.exe.so, but it hangs on 'Initializing
the Boehm GC...' and eventually segfaults. I thought I had installed the
'libgc-wine' to which the SWF.txt file provided a link, but just to be
sure, I checked, and it turns out that the link given does not provide a
new libgc.so for applications to link against. Instead, it builds a
gc.dll.so, which I have no clue how to use. The README.QUICK seems to be
for a different makefile; the provided makefile has a block of text at the
top that says it was generated by WineMaker. Just for kicks, I tried using
gc.dll.so as my libgc.so, but it does not run when compiled in that
configuration as gc.dll.so does not export the symbols that libgc.so does.

I am using mono from CVS on the 24th of April, built using the monocharge
from the 20th. Here is the output from the command you specified:

Actually, I just realized that you wanted the installed file, here is
confirmation that it is the same file:

linsux:/monocvs/mcs/class/System.Windows.Forms/System.Windows.Forms# ln -i
monostub.exe.so /usr/local/lib/wine/monostub.exe.so
2081814 monostub.exe.so 2081814 /usr/local/lib/wine/monostub.exe.so
linsux:/monocvs/mcs/class/System.Windows.Forms/System.Windows.Forms#

What next? :-)
