HOW TO build from source on Mono

[ulidtko]

This is how you build the GerberPanelizer from source on Linux.

Get @runesoeknudsen branch

git remote add github-pr-41 https://github.com/runesoeknudsen/GerberTools
git fetch github-pr-41
git checkout linuxHAck

Obtain dependency: Triangle.dll

This one is clean and easy.

git clone https://github.com/eppz/Triangle.NET
cd Triangle.NET/Triangle.NET
xbuild
cp Triangle/bin/Debug/Triangle.dll /tmp

Obtain dependency: DotNetZip.dll

This repo has it: https://github.com/haf/DotNetZip.Semverd
Can be done from source, but requires Ruby tools for that.
I preferred to pull the DotNetZip.1.11.0.nupkg package from their Appveyor CI. The .nupkg is just a zip file, the dll is inside.

Obtain dependency: OpenTK

https://www.nuget.org/packages/OpenTK/3.0.0-pre
https://www.nuget.org/packages/OpenTK.GLControl/3.0.0-pre

Patch up the source a bit

This diff was somehow necessary to get it to compile as well:

Start compilation

cd GerberTools/GerberPanelizer
xbuild

Finally, run it

mono bin/Debug/GerberPanelizer.exe

[deece]

This is obsoleted, build.sh now fetches the deps & builds things, there are still issues with corrupted icons in the resource files though.

[celem]

I'm running Linux Mint 20.3 with mono-complete installed. build.sh fails with "The type or namespace name `Ionic' could not be found". Any suggestions on how to proceed?

[ulidtko]

@celem you'd proceed just the same as any other dependency (for C# code in this case): step 1, find out what it is; step 2, install it so that the compiler is able to locate it.

For example, step 1 — grep the source for Ionic. You'll find using Ionic.Zip; lines — those are imports in C#. Obviously, since you're getting the error, it's not available in mono-complete; thus, an external dependency. Pretty easy to find its package.

The nuget package page says:

⚠ This package has been deprecated as it is legacy and is no longer maintained.
Suggested Alternatives
DotNetZip 1.9.1.8
