在Mac OS X中运行Mono应用程序

Question

I have developed Mono (.NET) application in Mac OS X and it runs from MonoDevelop just fine. Although, it fails with error when I run from command line like this:

mono SqlDynamiteX.exe

Instead, I have to run the application like this:

export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib:$DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib"

exec /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/bin/mono ./SqlDynamiteX.exe

Then, I have made a Mac OS X app this way:

macpack -n:SqlDynamiteX -o:. -a:SqlDynamiteX.exe -i:WindowIcon.icns -m:winforms -r:SqlDynamite.Common.dll,SqlDynamite.Util.dll,Npgsql.dll,MySql.Data.dll

And I have edited Info.plist file inside package according to this post:

Setting environment variables in OS X?

<key>LSEnvironment</key>
<dict>
    <key>DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH</key>
    <string>/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib:$DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib</string>
</dict>

But the application still fails with error when I double-click it in Finder.

Could anyone help me with that issue?

Mac OS X的Platypus应用程序可以包装脚本，因此您无需修改​​Info.plist文件。

Answer 2

Have you checked out Xamarin? It's made by the very makers of MonoDevelop, and I believe its settings are such that (like Platypus) handles the info.plist files better. I don't believe you'd go through the trouble you're presently going through to get your app compiled.

[Disclosure: I do not work for Xamarin and do not have a stake in their interests, I just think it'd help you out.]
