Fw: [Mono-winforms-list] question about winelib

[Peter Dennis Bartok]

It is not possible to simply move, copy or symbolic-link winelib into a 
location. It needs to be compiled with the specific locations of wine 
and mono. It compiles references to those into the binary (no easy other 
way, sorry)

That means that if you are using winelib from the precompiled packages 
you need to have wine and mono in prefix=/usr.

If you have a mix, you need to get the sources for winelib and 
specifically configure it with --prefix= and --with-wine=

If mono complains that it cannot find winelib.exe.so chances are it does 
find it but cannot resolve dependencies. The mono versions built after 
May 6th have an option where they you can enable more detailed errors 
when loading a dependency if you 'export MONO_DEBUG=1' before running 
mono. This should help diagnose the issue a bit. But you need either 
build the CVS version or a prepackaged version built after that date.

Cheers,
