Robert, did you copy libwx-c.so to /usr/local/lib? I just want to make sure
that the libwx-c.so that is being loaded is not a version from an earlier
build.

I'm still early stage in my wx.NET project so I develop on Windows (my
desktop environment) and occasionally test on Linux (I rsync my
Windows-compiled project assemblies to my VMWARE hosted Linux test
"system"). I setup my environment like this:

export MONO_TOP=/usr/local/packages/mono-20040525
export PATH=$MONO_TOP/bin:$PATH
export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/src/dotnet/wx-widgets/wx.NET-CVS/wx.NET/Bin:$MONO
_TOP/lib:/usr/local/packages/wx-widgets-cvs/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/lib
export MONO_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

So I don't even bother installing wx.NET yet. It gets picked up from the
wx.NET "Bin" folder (that long /usr/local/src/... Path above). Wx.Widgets
lib also gets added above.

Did you do the make from the Samples folder? The Makefiles that get
generated via the premake process should add ../../Bin to the lib path. For
example my Samples/Minimal/Minimal.make has this:

BINDIR = ../../Bin/
FLAGS += /debug /r:System.Drawing.dll /r:wx.NET.dll
...
@mcs /out:$@ /t:winexe -lib:$(BINDIR) $(FLAGS) $^

But you need to do a make from within Samples top-dir, not the individual
directory unless you set CONFIG manually (make CONFIG=Release -f
Minimal.make).

Kind of kludgy but this is what the premake stuff outputs. I believe the
next release of premake will stick with naming the Makefiles Makefile
instead of module.make. I'll also look into setting a default CONFIG in each
Makefile if we can do that on our end.

I have a to-do to improve the overall Linux build process and documentation
some. I will make sure installation is addressed. I will be doing this
before we do a 0.5 release (June after new Mono/wx.Widgets are shipped).
Guess I better get cracking ...

Cheers,
-Mike
