Fix build on linux

[positron96]

This patch

• updates build.sh with new library versions,
• fixes resx files (Someone needs to check if this builds in MS toolchain!)
• Updates readme slightly

[dromer]

Is there a specific mono version needed? Running this branch fix-build-on-linux on Debian Buster I get (large paste incoming)
Using Mono JIT compiler version 5.18.0.240

[edit: wrong mono version. trace removed]

[dromer]

Ok, installed latest mono from their official repositories and then the build is fine :)

Now to figure out how to run these binaries again ..

[CRImier]

once you figure out how to run them, I would be willing to help test this - try to compile it myself, make some panels and see if anything breaks

[dromer]

Hmmm, I'm trying to run the panelizer with mono GerberPanelizer/bin/Debug/GerberPanelizer.exe and it briefly opens a window and then closes again. After a number of times I see some output in the shell that is maybe useful for debugging:

dreamer@auditorium:~/Sources/_downloads/positron_GerberTools$ mono GerberPanelizer/bin/Debug/GerberPanelizer.exe
dreamer@auditorium:~/Sources/_downloads/positron_GerberTools$ mono GerberPanelizer/bin/Debug/GerberPanelizer.exe

Strange, I do mono ./GerberPanelizer.exe and it launches fine. My OS is Ubuntu 18.04.5, mono installed via official mono's instrunctions.

[positron96]

Upon closer inspection, while GerberPanelizer is running, something is still broken. Here are Windows and Ubuntu screenshots of exact same exe:

Surprisingly, it works fine with that side panel not showing. I can drag-and-drop ZIP archive from ubuntu's file manager (thunar, BTW) and move the outlines over work area. After that, I can export the panel succesfully.

[positron96]

@dromer Also, I forgot to mention that I have Xubuntu, not prestine Ubuntu. Maybe xfce does not mess with mono's graphics like debian does. Anyway, looking at your logs, I am not sure if it's mono's problem or this project's problem. The exception is deeply inside mono. Maybe wine+dotnet or wine+mono can help in your case?

[dromer]

Mess with mono's graphics? o.O
I am using the proprietary nvidia driver, which could give issues with graphics maybe.

mono --debug GerberPanelizer.exe doesn't give me anything btw.

Not sure why I'd need wine to run native code though.
Anyway, hope we get these tools working on linux at some point :)

[positron96]

And I'm running Ubuntu in VirtualBox, so, not nvidia drivers.

[positron96]

So, I've also figured what's going on with resx files, "XOR data length expected" errors and stuff:
base64 data inside resx files encodes ICO files that contain PNG files inside them. Mono apparently does not handle them (https://xamarin.github.io/bugzilla-archives/30/30715/bug.html), while MS's .Net does.
The current "fix" is to replace mimetype of these entries from mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64" into mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.binary.base64". However, this just disables compiling of these resources, so mono compiles the project, but the icons are not shown at all. (Hopefully, compilation under Windows would still decode this correctly, it needs to be checked). The correct fix is to extract the ICO files from resx, convert them into ICOs with ordinary bitmaps inside (I've tried https://redketchup.io/icon-editor ) and re-embed the files into resx. Mimetype should be left as bytearray.

All of this applies only to icons. There are Bitmaps in resx files that are also encoded as bytearray.base64, those work fine as-is since they are not ICOs.

Another major problem is that side dock panel of e,g, GerberPanelizer is not shown on linux. This is probably unsolvable, since the library is Win-only (#71 (comment), https://sourceforge.net/p/dockpanelsuite/discussion/402316/thread/ea083210/).

[taotieren]

Hi, What should I do if I want to package GerberTools into an application under Linux?

[positron96]

@taotieren it entirely depends on what you mean by "package" and what parts of GerberTools you need. As mentioned above, some components (e.g. Panelizer) are still not usable.

When will it be merged into the main repo?
