Mono: can my GTK-app be executed on Windows-64bit?
I have created an Application in Linux 64bit with MonoDevelop, GTK#2 as GTK2-Project.
I am able to make an executable, the platform-target is "AnyCPU" (I have removed Posix references and GetText()-support), but I have also tried "x64".
- This executable can be executed on Linux 64bit (terminal: mono App.exe)
- This executable can be executed on Windows 32bit (terminal: mono App.exe)
- This executable CANNOT be run on Windows 64bit (terminal: mono App.exe)
brings error:
Unhandled Exception: System.DllNotFoundException: libglib-2.0-0.dll
I have installed the GTK+ for Windows Runtime Environment on both machines, Windows 32bit and Windows 64bit.
In fact I have found this DLL libglib-2.0-0.dll on the GTK/bin-path and also have copied it to my executable-folder, even though it is set in the PATH environment variable.
Anyway, I get the same error message, but only in Windows 64bit.
Do I have a chance of making my GTK app to be running with Windows 64bit?
Is there a different libglib-2.0-0.dll for Windows x64 and how can I obtain this?

It's certainly possible to run a Gtk# 2 application on 64-bit windows, but it requires a bit of work. It appears you've already obtained the necessary .Net assemblies, and the native Win64 Gtk+ DLLs that are needed, but you also need an additional set of 64-bit native "glue" DLLs. I have not yet found a good source for these in pre-compiled form in any of my searches, but it is possible to build them from the gtk-sharp source.

Perhaps I should mention that there is a way to get a copy of the "glue" DLLs for Win64 that I have already compiled. They're included in our "APSIM Next Generation" software product, which is freely available but requires registration. Go to <apsim.info/Products/ProductRegistration.aspx> then select "APSIM" as the product and "Next Generation (Windows)" as the version. This will give you access to the installer, and the installed software will include the DLLs you need. I really ought to make these available on our github site as a public service, but I haven't done so yet.

The installer should have created a folder named something like C:Program FilesAPSIM2018.10.23.3165 (the numbers will vary depending on the version you got). This will have a Bin sub-folder within it with all the necessary DLLs (including libglib-2.0-0.dll), along with a bunch of others you won't need. For the most part, you'll need those with a name starting with "lib", and those with "sharp" somewhere in the filename.
