[Opensim-users] Book on building mono applications in Linux

[Frank W Sweet]

A big "Thank you" to Bulli, Mike, and Matt for your help. I was 
absolutely stunned by Bulli's saying that the EXEs and DLLs compiled 
under Windows would run unchanged under Linux. I would have thought 
that the OS APIs were incompatible. It just goes to show how little I 
know about Linux. Anyway, I dragged my bin directory from W-XP to 
Ubuntu, kicked it off, and incredibly it ran.

Actually, it crashed when it tried to load a DLL, but I am pretty sure 
that is because it did not know which directory it was running inside. 
(My launcher "bat" file, my region XML's, and my ini's are all in a 
directory outside of and separate from my bin directory for obvious 
reasons.) I am pretty sure there must be a way that I can tell a Linux 
program that it is running inside a directory that is not where the 
launch "bat" is running from (the Linux equivalent to the "start in" 
parameter of the W-Xp shortcut.).

Again, thank you very much, guys. You learn something new every day. 
In case anyone is curious, I have appended below the applicable log.

I don't have a reference to any Mono books, but why bother?

I think you can still build your servers on windows.... then copy them
over to the Linux-boxes and run them there.

For me it works the other way around at least: I tend to build some
libomv applications on Linux using mono and then run them under
Windows.
