[ifolder-devel] Problems running iFolder client (or porting iFolder to NetBSD)

[Silas S. <si...@gm...>]

Hi all!

iFolder was recently adopted by the local sysadmin team in order to
exchange files and documentation.  Since I use the NetBDS operating
system (www.netbsd.org) in my workstation, I realized it was a good
oportunity to port iFolder to the NetBSD operating system.

Some of iFolder dependencies were already in the NetBSD package manager,
pkgsrc (www.pkgsrc.org), like Mono and Gtk#, but others also needed to
be ported, like libflaim and Simias.

The porting of dependencies and of iFolder itself consisted basically in
adding conditionals to deal with the BSD systems in the build system
(autogen.sh, configure.in and Makefile.in).

After some tries, libflaim, Simias and iFolder compiled fine.

But, after running the iFolderClient.exe, I got this error:


    $ mono iFolderClient.exe
    Could not load file or assembly 'TrayIcon, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies.

    Unhandled Exception: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Novell.iFolder.iFolderApplication' from assembly 'iFolderClient, Version=3.8.0.3, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.


Since I don't know anything about Mono, C# or the .NET framework, I
don't know what to do.

If it is not an easy problem to solve, maybe you could recommend some
documentation, so I can debug the problem.  Is it possible?

Thank you very much.
