Problems running under Linux mono

It’s my first time trying to run the tools, and I uncovered an error when running in the obvious way on Linux. This occurs under both older Ubuntu (mono 3.2.8) and recent Arch (mono 4.8.0). The same release works fine under Windows 10. I haven’t looked into whether previous GerberTools releases behave any better though.

$ cd GerberTools_2017_2_17/Panelizer
$ mono GerberPanelizer.exe

I have looked at bit into the problem and created a pull request that fixes the problem, see #41 Basically I have extracted the icon file from the code and saved it as a separated file. Thanks for all the hints.

To make it easy for others I have here attached a compiled version: Panelizer.zip This one I have succesfully used to panellized a PCB on Linux with Mono JIT compiler version 5.4.0.201

My problem

Hi every one I’m trying compile te project under linux, in particular ubuntu 20.04.

Unfortunaly i’m getting in truble… anyway this is my error ouput after the installation of the dotnet and mono-complete packege:

Any one cane help me??? I realy don’t know what i need to install now.

Update build.sh

I also update the build.sh script to automatize the mono packge installation for ubuntu, maybe is possible extend to all the OS. This is the modify script:

#!/bin/bash

set -euo pipefail
set -x

nuget () {
	package="$1"
	version="$2"
	zip="`mktemp`.zip"
	url="https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/package/$package/$version"
	dir="GerberProjects/packages/$package.$version"

	test -d "$dir" || {
		wget "$url" -O "$zip"
		mkdir -p "$dir"
		unzip "$zip" -d "$dir"
		rm "$zip"
	}
}
