Well, getting this to be compatible with *nix was now
my first C# assignment, too...
I made some changes to the program to make it compatible with *nix environments. What I changed was...
- ... path for the dom3tool_serverlist.xml file. The original program wants to access the %APPDATA% directory for that, if that environment variable does not exist (like on my Linux system), it bails out. Now it tries %APPDATA% if it's set or the current directory (aka ".") otherwise.
- ... "Open file" dialog to find the Dom3 executable. I have added an option for the usual dom3 executables: dom3_* and dom3*.exe and used that as default value. Changed the "All files" file mask, too, because otherwise it wouldn't show the *nix executables.
- ... launching the Dom3 executable. Maybe Windows launches the program successfully if the working directory is set to the directory where the executable is in, but that didn't work for me, so I used the full absolute path instead.
I didn't change any other code, even though the program doesn't validate its input enough. If you abort the program on the first start you can mess up your settings XML file and fill it with bad uninitialized values, which results in subsequent crashes when you open the program again. You'll have to delete the XML file in that case. There might be other trouble lurking somewhere, too.
Attached is the binary which works with Mono 1.2.2.1 and upwards and should work on Windows systems with the original .NET framework without modifications, too. (Could I get a confirmation for that, maybe?)
