Problems loading mono packages

ernesto_cgf · 07-03-2006, 02:46 PM

I am developing on Mono a front-end for beagle. I have just started so I have nothing yet. I read this example here and I decided to start by compiling it to see if it works.

So I copied the source code to a file named SimpleQuery.cs and I edited to remove the # comments at the beginning of each line. After saving it I compiled it using the command line that appears in that page

Code:

mcs -out:Query.exe -pkg:beagle-0.0 -pkg:gtk-sharp SimpleQuery.cs

And I got the following error message

Code:

Package gtk-sharp was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk-sharp.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtk-sharp' found
error CS8027: Error running pkg-config. Check the above output.

Does anyone here have a clue?

I've dealt with this as a part of SuperTux development. Just go to the "Compiling the editor" section.

I found out that when I copy all beagle DLLs from /usr/lib/beagle into the directory with the .exe of my application, then it works. So I figured that all I needed was to install or register the beagle assemblies in the GAC (Global Assembly Cache) using gacutil. But when I try to do it, all I get is an error message stating that those packages need a strong name in order to be registered in the GAC.

Does this mean that they need to be signed? If this is the case, then they are not signed. What can I do?

Can't help you there, don't really know what that stuff is. I just recognized that error while trying to build ST# because the PKG_CONFIG_PATH enviroment variable was not set up.

log in as root and make a directory
go to the bottom, download the script and execute

>chmod u+x monupdater.sh
>monoupdater.sh

I am trying this as we speak
