Ubuntu 13.10 Compile and install mono Environment (ii) _linux

Preparatory work

First compile a WinForm on the VS2012, the following code:

Using System;
Using System.Windows.Forms;
Namespace Formstest
{
static class
program {
///<summary>
///application's main entry point.
///</summary>
[STAThread]
static void Main ()
{
application.enablevisualstyles ();
Application.setcompatibletextrenderingdefault (false);
Application.Run (New Form ());}}

Try running with mono on Ubuntu:

nike@nike-pc:~$ CD desktop/nike@nike-pc:~/desktop$ ls FormsTest.exe nike@nike-pc:~/desktop$ mono FormsTest.exe Unhandled Exception:System.TypeInitializationException:An Exception is thrown by the type initializer for System.window S.forms.xplatui---> System.TypeInitializationException:An exception is thrown by the type initializer for System.dra Wing.

Encountered an error system.dllnotfoundexception:/opt/mono-3.2.8/lib/libgdiplus.so, because if you want to run WinForm in Ubuntu, you must install Libgdiplus.

Download Libgdiplus and compile

There was an error, Google search, probably because the $echo variable was defined in the Libtool script that was generated in the project directory, but in the script file ltmain.sh, the $echo (the generated libtool version is too old) is simple to use. Echo=echo can be:

Compile error again, the solution is: 1. After running./configure, edit Tests/makefile file 2. In makefile file 130 line position, change libs =-lpthread-lfontconfig to libs =- Lpthread-lfontconfig-lglib-2.0-lx11 3. Run make again

nike@nike-pc:~/src/libgdiplus-2.10.9$ vim tests/makefile
nike@nike-pc:~/src/libgdiplus-2.10.9$ make
===== =========> compiles quickly <==============
nike@nike-pc:~/src/libgdiplus-2.10.9$ sudo make install

Installation complete.

Set PATH environment variable

nike@nike-pc:~/src/mono-3.2.8$ CD ~
nike@nike-pc:~$ vim. BASHRC

Append the following statement at the end of the file: Export Ld_library_path=/opt/mono-3.2.8/lib then:

nike@nike-pc:~$. . BASHRC
nike@nike-pc:~$ echo $LD _library_path
