	one click installation of an app running with mono? by Heertsch :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Beginners question: I develop an app running in mono. My customers should be able to install this app without any knowledge. ("One Click"). Is there a HowTo or a tutorial, how to build such package? Thank you. Andreas

("One > Click"). Is there a HowTo or a tutorial, how to build such package? Take a look at mkbundle command line utility. Basically, it allows you to package all .net assemblies of your application together with mono' system assemblies into one native binary file (Mac OS or Linux) which will run w/o the need to install mono framework. Beware of current problems in mono-2.4 with app.config and machine.config. There's open bug[1] for this, but it's not fixed yet. Also, if you application happen to load libc at runtime (e.g., System.Drawing does this upon initialization) you'll need to package /usr/etc/mono/config too and use it through MONO_CONFIG environment variable. It's required at least on Ubuntu GNU/Linux. -- Alex [1] https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=325022 _______________________________________________ Mono-osx mailing list Mono-osx@... http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-osx

Learn more about Nabble's security policy. Does mkbundle work on Windows as well? I have a number of distribution issues with clients unable to "install" the .NET framework due to security restrictions on PCs, and it would be really good to be able to distribute a CD that "just runs".

Not quite works, AFAIK.
