[Mono-winforms-list] basic assistance

[Jon Heiner]

At the risk of sounding completely stupid, how do I "run what macpack 
generates"? If I double-click in the Finder, the app silently does 
nothing. How do I run it from the command line to see the stderr? Is 
there a place where mac apps output there stderr and I don't know about 
it?

I've uninstalled everything I could and reinstalled it again. I now 
have a fresh install of 1.1.6 only. I reinstalled X11, but now the 
libgdiplus.dylib seems to be missing [previously it was put in the 
1.1.4 mono framework.]

So, i'm now missing the lbgdiplus.dylib, and i'm not sure how to get 
it. I pulled down the src for it and cairo. I don't have automake 
setup, so I can't build cairo from source. And I see that cairo has 
four more dependencies. I'm starting to pine for apt here, and i'm not 
sure I want to chase all these dependencies. Is there a HOWTO somewhere 
on what to setup for Mac MWF?

You cannot use mono <executable> to run SWF apps on the mac. You need
