Has it become http://portablelinuxapps.org/ ?<br /><br /><b>@Anonymous and @nameless</b><br />Your two problems are the same, the GTK library doesn't load, probably because it can't find some of its dependencies. libgtk-x11-2.0.so has several dependencies which are outside of the bundle, mostly X libraries, so one of these might be the problem. Maybe you're missing the 32-bit versions of those X libraries ?<br />It would be great if you could get in touch with me on our IRC channel or by e-mail, I'd like to look into this further.Bertrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493204773942257527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30299148.post-1262997590246194222011-03-08T20:17:25.133+01:002011-03-08T20:17:25.133+01:00As a Linux dev, and big Mono fan, I am thoughoughl...As a Linux dev, and big Mono fan, I am thoughoughly excited about this and all other solutions to the packagers' delemas.

Anyon...Thanks for the kind words everyone !<br /><br /><b>@NickG</b><br />Anyone is welcome to use the same method to provide a bundle for other applications. But I think this should be done by each project team: they are in the best position to create the right bundle for their own needs: testing, wider availability, etc.<br /><br /><b>@jdm</b><br />Good point, I built the bundle on a fairly recent distro. Which version of glibc do you have on your system ?<br /><br /><b>@Anonymous 1</b><br />Some kind of auto-update would be nice, maybe as part of the "start" script. I wonder what happens if you update the .run file while it's running and the filesystem image is mounted...<br />I had a quick look at zeroinstall. It seems has a much wider scope (shared downloads, etc.) and requires the zeroinstall-injector to be installed. I was looking for something simpler.<br /><br /><b>@Anonymous 2</b><br />I think we all agree running random binaries from the internet is not safe.<br /><br /><b>@LogicMagic</b><br />I think it's quite easy to add an application to bockbuild. See the existing apps in the profiles directory.Bertrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01493204773942257527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30299148.post-11327739162621492672011-03-07T18:13:27.368+01:002011-03-07T18:13:27.368+01:00I would love to insert my GTK# app into this build...I would love to insert my GTK# app into this build process and have it work on RHEL5 and RHEL6 since neither Red Hat nor Novell are supporting this.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />VladLogicMagichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829653746306503465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30299148.post-72326774301997093812011-03-07T17:10:32.774+01:002011-03-07T17:10:32.774+01:00Runs great for me on SLED 11 SP1 and openSUSE Fact...Runs great for me on SLED 11 SP1 and openSUSE Factory/11.4.
