System.DllNotFoundException: hid.dll

[Morpheus]

Hi,
I just downloaded the last version and I get this error:

~/programs/Tiny_Multi_Bootloader+_v0.11.2$ mono TinyMultiBootloader+.exe
System.DllNotFoundException: hid.dll

on the same system where versione 0.11.0 is working properly.
Any suggestion?

I will sort the download out. you are missing hid.

[Anobium]

I just figured. What Operating System? I need a clue.

[Morpheus]

Debian GNU/Linux 9.4 (stretch)
mono 4.6.2.7+dfsg-1
kernel 4.9.65

[Anobium]

Well we have a choice - we find the equivelent of HID.DLL or we change the source code to support Linux without the recently added USB support. I would like to do the later. Should only take a few minutes.

So, the HID.DLL is the OakTree USB driver - is there anything like this for Linux?

[Morpheus]

In Linux HID devices are handled by the kernel directly with no need to install specific drivers.
The relevant modules I found are: hid.ko, usbhid.ko and hid_generic.ko.
Also a link that explains a bit is:
http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x194.html
For me it would be ok the option without the USB support, since I only use serial (to be more precise FTDI USB->serial).

[Anobium]

New source uploaded.

Use the define LINUX then compile. Test please.

[Morpheus]

I downloaded the code via svn and looked in tinypicbootload-svncode/source/v11/Tiny Multi Bo(v0.11.3)/sources_soft_PC, but I really have no idea on how to build it. I am only used to Makefile or buuild instructions as steps written in a text file. Sorry but I am no expert in mono/.NET. If you have some link to a guide I could try..

[Anobium]

Sure, open the source. Look for //define LINUX remove the //. Compile.

[Morpheus]

Ok, that is no problem: what I do not know is how to compile :)

[Anobium]

Are you asking me to compile the Linux specific build for you? I can do this.

[Morpheus]

If you are willig to provide a (Linux specific) compiled version, similar to the ones downloadable as zip packages it would be great, and I could test immediately.
(because I really have no idea on how to compile this kind of sources without a Makefile or detailed build instructions)

[Anobium]

Try this. Let me know if this works. I cannot text.

Thanks for the binary version!
Seems I still have some problem: it crashes with:

I checked and I had already installed on my system:
libgdiplus/stable,now 4.2-1+b1 amd64 [installato, automatico]
