Hi tj,

You confused me with ./ before mono " it's sufficient to call "mono program" and not "./mono program". "

Anyway have a read of the Registering .exe as non-native binaries (Linux only) section.

Ram

Thanks a lot - this should help. But I think I wont use it because I run other .exe files for ex. with Wine.

cheers

tj, if your path is correct then you run it like ./prog.exe as you would with a sh script - no need to ref mono.

As I said before - correct PATH will only point system to /usr/bin directory. It doesn't give any references how the system has to deal with ".exe" file.
I run Suse 11.1 and every time I want to execute C# program I need to type "mono" first.

See Setting your Path.

PATH has not much to do with it. Your post confused me for a while so I checked: and yes, mono is installed in /usr/bin directory. But, think, it got to be in PATH because it's sufficient to call "mono program" and not "./mono program".

But still the question is valid - how to make it work without need of issuing "mono" before programname?

Most distros will install binfmt-support with mono, but many will chose not to enable it: Try

Code:

sudo update-binfmts --display

and see, if it has an entry like "cli (disabled):". If yes, then

Code:

sudo update-binfmts --enable cli

is your friend.

Cheers for that Ollie, I'll check my PATH on the Mini 9

As for the issue with var, just setup up vbox running 8:10 and no error.

./ works fine on 8.10 but I've found with 8.04 (Dell Mini 9 version) I have to use mono ?.exe

One question if I can highjack this tread, var contents = File.ReadAllText does work for me, gives an error on build. Works if I change it to string contents. This is with 8.04 as above, not had time to try it on 8.10 yet so is this a quirk of 8.04 ?

Hey!

Yes, you probably need to use "mono ToDoList.exe". I didn't mention it because on Ubuntu ./ToDoList.exe works fine

I'll add it.

Hmmmm yes, it apparently does need that. Paul's tutorial did not mention it, just ./progname . I may just be the first person working on it with all the time I have being unemployed still Thanks.

Are you trying to run the program with ./progname? You might need to try mono progname.

I am stuck on the firs project from Paul's coding academy! I am getting the error above. I cannot run the program from a command prompt. It runs fine in MonoDevelop. Permissions are fine. Googling turns up a lot of the same problem with scripts, but not much that helps me. Ideas?
