VS Windows 2022 17.1.
I have an xamarin app that runs on Android, iOS, macOS and UWP.
Now I added a GTK project following this description
I want to create a self-contained bundle. To do that I run
mkbundle TimeDateCalculator.gtk.exe --simple -o timedatecalculator --cross mono-6.6.0-ubuntu-18
on windows or
mkbundle -o timedatecalculator --simple TimeDateCalculator.gtk.exe --config /etc/mono/config --machine-config /etc/mono/4.5/machine.config
in wslg.
That results in this:
ERROR: Unable to load assembly `netstandard' referenced by `/mnt/d/Users/eigil/projects/xamarinProjs/TimeDateCalculator/TimeDateCalculator/TimeDateCalculator.gtk/bin/Release/TimeDateCalculatorDll.dll'
To try to solve that I added
<Reference Include="netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
<Private>True</Private>
</Reference>
to the .gtk.csproj file.
Now mkbundle TimeDateCalculator.gtk.exe --simple -o timedatecalculator --cross mono-6.6.0-ubuntu-18 gives Generated timedatecalculator !
BUT when I run the bundled app in wslg (ubuntu 21.10) this is the result:
Unhandled Exception:
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51' or one of its dependencies.
File name: 'netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51'
[ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51' or one of its dependencies.
File name: 'netstandard, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cc7b13ffcd2ddd51'
How do I solve that problem ? I tried to change the gtk project Target framework from .NET Framework 4.8 to .NET Framework 4.7 but then I get this
