Build complete -- 1 error, 0 warnings

This is latest svn head
CDT.dll is in 'Required dlls' directory but it fails any way
What can i do to fix this ?

[drtech]

as far as I know the latest versions cannont run in linux (and if you are trying you should just compile an older linux compatible version v5.6 or less in windows and copy over the files). Unless you are going to try to fix it that is the last working version.

[Kollin]

OMG v5.6 is the last that can be compiled in linux(with mono)? Is that what you are saying?

[Kollin]

I have tested all the svn trunk and result is:
The latest version that compiles under mono and runs is 6.1
It`s shame actually that the same stupid reference in the code is preventing new versions from correct building.
And that is inherited in 9 /nine/ versions!

I don`t want to pay microsoft tax for using dental management system!
Are there any plans for correcting this or should I say RIP for Opendental for linux platform ?

R.I.P.

The fact that it took 9! versions before anyone noticed tells you a little bit about exactly how many users are interested in this capability.

True, though at first glance this looks to be more of an issue with the mono compiler an may not have been an issue for as long as that.

I am interested in getting this running on Linux again (kiosk/patient check-in mode for example!) and if anyone else is please feel free to comment here. I am part of the Fedora Mono project and my employer has interests in this field so have some resources available to debug.

The problem is that Mono is always going to lag .NET, so you're always going to be behind by several versions. Couple that with lack of resources for maintaining two versions by the Open Dental developer, and the end result it that it just isn't realistic to support Linux at this point in time. Market share with Linux is another factor. If anything, it would be more logical to support an OS X flavor of OD.

Then there's Microsoft Enterprise Library (required for WebForms support). Read point #10 here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms998253

If security is your primary concern, you might consider Win7 inside of VMware player or workstation on a Linux box...

Thanks Bill. The point about only running it on a Windows platform is valid.

No, its really from reducing licensing costs rather than security. I know the problems of developing a Linux client but am interested in doing so for various reasons. Humour me if you can.

I know of several dentists who would be very keen to see OS X support.

If yourself (or Dr. Sparks) can shed some light on the CDT.dll compile error I would be grateful. Preferably the origin and nature of it would be great.

Sneck-

I had tried to compile it on Ubuntu 10.4 before I answered your question just to see what had changed since the last time a tried (somewhere it the fives or sixes) and it was a no-go. I can't remember what the exact error was, but if I have time tomorrow I'll give it another go. Justin Shafer had OD running on OS X a while back, you might want to ask him what he thinks.

PS - how are you compiling - via command line or in an IDE such as MonoDevelop?

[jordansparks]

The error message indicates to me that it's finding CDT.dll just fine. It's the dependent file OpenDentBusiness.dll that it's having trouble finding.

Thanks for the response folks - I'm using MonoDevelop and get the same error using Mono 2.4 or 2.6.7

For interest, I reverted to an older version of CDT.dll (back when it was compiling on Linux) and got a different error.

The error message indicates to me that it's finding CDT.dll just fine. It's the dependent file OpenDentBusiness.dll that it's having trouble finding.

Thanks for the pointer - I'll head off in that direction. I would like to keep posting updates on my findings here if that is OK.

[wjstarck]

Just for kicks, you could also try compiling OD in windows and then copy everything in the /bin/Release folder over to /usr/local/OpenDental on your Linux box. Then just $ mono OpenDental.exe and see if it launches.

Saves you from alot of dependency hell trying to compile on Linux, and will give you a quick idea whether it's worth the hassle trying to compile natively on Linux...
