Hi,

I am trying to run an exe file with mono on redhat linux.
The exe file is running fine on windows xp. With mono, it is giving the following error. Kindly help.

Thanks and Best Regards,

It looks like you're trying to draw a graphics window.

The only thing I wll be able to do is ensure you've compiled it correctly - did you use the following command to compile it?

gmcs example.cs -pkg:dotnet

If you have, I would recommend testing your app on Windows. If it still doesn't run on Windows, then there is another issue with mono or your code.

Hi,

I did not use the command mentioned by you. I compiled it using the following command:
ironahk --out example.exe Example.ahk

IronAHK is the linux counterpart of autohotkey.

The exe file thus generated is working fine on windows.
Also, your observation is correct. The exe file tries to draw a graphics window.
Kindly help.

Thanks a lot for your response,

Best Regards,
Sanjay

So it seems like this is working correctly
1) you are able to write code on Linux that runs on Windows
2) the graphics libraries needed are included to draw the window

If you require more assistance, I would recommend asking in Mono's discussion board, but this looks like it's functioning to me - usually - if you have a 32-bit RHEL system - you will need another 32-bit Linux system (and even then some distros move system files, so it's possible, depending on the script, that you'd need a close version of RHEL) to run the code.

If you are able to run the code on Windows, I believe this was successful.
