[Mono-winforms-list] SharpChess

Wed Dec 5 17:11:02 EST 2007

Hi Aatdark,

The source of my problems at this point is mono.  I've installed mono and
monodevelop on this Debian box (running KDE), downloaded the SharpChess
source code, opened that project in MonoDevelop, and attempted to run it
without changing anything.  I realize it's probably naive of me to think it
might work right out of the box like that, but I thought I'd give it a try.
I receive the following error which is quite beyond me, though it makes me
wonder if perhaps what I need to do is install some more libraries:

For the record, on the advice of another member of this list, I attempted to
install mono* but could not, receiving the following error:

Note that this is *after* updating everything, in some cases, to an unstable
version.  (Before, when I had updated everything to only the most recent
stable version, I was unable even to install monodevelop.)

An alternative solution I was thinking of was embedding a program like
xboard within a mono program that could send key presses to xboard and
receive mouse movements and clicks from the user.  I'm not sure if that
would be more or less complicated.

Your help is much appreciated!
