---- Reported by groith@tcrz.net 2003-01-24 10:08:54 MST ---- Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you are doing. Description of Problem: While on Linux a referenced assembly, that lives in the default assembly directory (/pathto/lib) gets searched by mcs, on windows the path has to be speciefied completely. Mcs (normally placed in /something/bin/) should by default look in /something/lib. That's also, where the other libraries like corlib.dll or System.dll live. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Try to compile an application, that uses GTK# or ADO.NET without referencing the whole path. Actual Results: It is needed: mcs MyTestApp.cs -lib:c:\mono-0.19\install\lib\ -r System.Data.dll -r Mono.Data.MySql.dll Expected Results: mcs MyTestApp.cs -r System.Data.dll -r Mono.Data.MySql.dll should be enought. How often does this happen? always ---- Additional Comments From groith@tcrz.net 2003-01-24 10:11:52 MST ---- *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=MONO37187 *** Unknown operating system unknown.
