[Mono-winforms-list] Re: [Mono-list] OSX. Mono 1.1.4 and swf

[grompf]

David,

     First off; there is a carbon driver in 1.1.4 (it is extremely 
alpha and undergoing a major rewrite atm in HEAD) but there are a 
couple gotchas:

#1.  We're not using the ATSUI font backend yet so you need to have X11 
installed (because it gives us the ft2/fc deps)
#2.  You can't launch SWF/mono apps on mac with mono foo.exe

The solutions is (assuming swf-buttons as an example) to use macpack.

macpack is a tool installed with 1.1.4 to package a managed assembly as 
a OSX .app bundle; the usage for swf buttons would be

macpack -m:1 -n:swf-buttons -o:. -a:swf-buttons.exe

There is macpack --help and a manpage but I'll reiterate these options 
here

-m == --mode; the mode of macpack being either SWF or Cocoa#
-n == --name; the name of the .app bundle to output
-o == --output; where to output this bundle
-a == --assembly; which assembly to macpack
