I have had a go at this and it seemed to work - at least it compiled and ran a little "hello mono world" program. I'll try to upload the pet - i couldn't make it work yesterday!

Mono Pet

[batchain]

Hello All,

Puppy version: Diamond 2.12rtp (Lucid 5.25 derivative)
KeePass version: 2.18
Mono version: 2.10.x

I have tested the Mono Pet (URL listed in the previous post) and KeePass 2.18 (KeePass_120116_Unix.zip)
described at the KeePass 2.18 with Mono workaround page. The Mono Pet installs into /usr/local and so to
be certain the Mono libraries are picked up, I first ran this command in a terminal:

Code: Select all

# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib"

Following the instructions at the KeePass site,
I ran this command from the same terminal:

Code: Select all

#   mono    /path/to/KeePass.exe

KeePass does not run and this error is received:

Code: Select all

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for System.Windows.Forms.XplatUI ---> System.TypeInitializationException: An exception was thrown by the type initializer for System.Drawing.GDIPlus ---> System.DllNotFoundException: gdiplus.dll

I do not know how to resolve this. Looking into the possibility of installing Mono from Debian
packages revealed many cascading library dependencies and I do not relish working out those issues.

Kind regards,

Bat

Hi batchain,

I'm sorry if the mono pet didn't work.
I don't actually know very much about using mono. I made the pet mainly so I could use it for programming.The install of mono itself seemed to work fine on my Puppy (Racy 5.2.2).

There's some help here about using Windows programs with Mono - maybe this will help:

Hi Antiloquax,

I compiled Mono 2.10.8 with libgdiplus 2.10 and ran KeePass 2.18 semi-successfully.
There is a (rather verbose) description at my post on the Security/Privacy forum. I appreciate
the comments you've given here.

Hi Batchain,
I'm glad you had success with it!
