Problem compiling WinForms using Mono

English Programming/Scripting
#1

Sorry if the question is to “simple”

I am trying to compile Winforms using command;

$mcs filename.cs -pkg:dotnet

The error message is;

Package dotnet was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `dotnet.pc’
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package ‘dotnet’ found
error CS8027: Error running pkg-config. Check the above output.

How to add dotnet into pkg-config?

#2

Hi
the pkg-config files are normally in the corresponding devel file(s).
That to me would indicate you haven’t installed mono-devel package.

Hi malcolmlewis,
Thank you for your prompt response.

I had install;

  1. mono-devel (glib2-devel+glibc-devel+linux-kernel-headers)
  2. mono-extras

and the previous problem solved. After the installation, I recompile the program using;

$mcs hello.cs -pkg:dotnet

and this are the new problem.

error CS0006: cannot find metadata file Microsoft.JScript.dll' error CS0006: cannot find metadata file System.Data.OracleClient.dll’
Compilation failed: 2 error(s), 0 warnings

The question is?
How to I import this windows system file onto openSUSE, so that the compilation will be successful.

This tutorial I get from Mono Basics - Mono

Thank you.

When you ran MoMa on your application did it pass the application or give warnings?

#5

There are no warning given but error in compiling the program which are;

error CS0006: cannot find metadata file Microsoft.JScript.dll' error CS0006: cannot find metadata file System.Data.OracleClient.dll’
Compilation failed: 2 error(s), 0 warnings

Hi
Install mono-jscript and mono-data-oracle.
