Tomboy Mono 4.0 and Ubuntu

There’s a very important tip for compiling and running Tomboy on Ubuntu.

Ello has something to say about this.

Ello,

 

This is a quick public service announcement. Earlier today, ajmitch reminded me of a little gotcha that exists around Mono applications in Ubuntu 11.10. As a five second summary, in 11.10 the Debian Mono team switched the default runtime version from 2.0 to 4.0. This involved recompiling (and sometimes patching) all libraries and applications in the distribution with the new verison.

The point for Tomboy though, is that you can make a simple fix in the shell script to get around this. Here’s an example of what you need to Launch Tomboy.

mono –runtime=v4.0 Tomboy.exe

We are looking to fix this in future releases though.
