Open Dental Forum

Cool... Had to use MonoDevelop and I had to rip out do some crazy stuff...

1. Compile OpenDental in Visual Studio 2008.. Keep OpenDentalBusiness.dll handy.. move it to linux.
2. Get Linux.. and the latest Mono.. Dont know if it helps but Im running 2.8
3. Download SVN of OD
4. Open MonoDevelop and Rip out OpenDentalBusiness.
5. Add OpenDentalBusiness.dll as an assembly from Visual Studio to all projects that bitch about not having it.
6. Take care of is64Bit in CoreBase for ODEnviroment... Remove all is64Bit and change it to Unix everywhere for say Topaz, etc... (Jordan I read your notes about Mono and your right!)
7. make utf-8 to UTF-8 and what else... Fix Acrobat Assemblies... Take care of DirectX for 7.2 (edited)

Compile..

Make a PERFECT FreeDentalXML file..
Look in OpenDental\bin\Debug folder for the compiled executable...

Back in the Saddle Again....

You studmuffin...

The Enviromental Detection is what seems to be keeping it from loading.. I redid this from scratch in Visual Studio and removed that and Open Dental worked without needing to be compiled in Mono at all.

Now you can use Wine and not compile... =)

Wow.. Here I am compiling mono with moonlight to see if I can compile OpenDentalBusiness.dll... what a trick.. Glad I wrote it down somewhere...
