Mono.GetOptions when compiling docky

[stevegriffdtcom]

Hello,

I'm having an issue when I'm trying to compile docky, which is part of the gentoo-china overlay:

The same problem. No information about it except of info that GetOptions in mono is obsolete. I am not a C#/Mono programmer to know what to do with it.

I think the problem is the new version of Mono where GetOptions aren't used anymore. This is just an idea

Update 3/2/11
Docky stable 2.0.11 source builds and installs fine against mono 2.8 series. Giving up on out of date 2.0.1 ebuild for now.

Previous:
Mono 2.8 must have only just gone stable on x64 as docky only broke on me today after an update.

Add the following at the bottom of /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask to prevent upgrade to Mono 2.8 series until Docky is updated.

>=dev-lang/mono-2.8.2-r1

Uninstall mono:
emerge -C mono
Then:
emerge -avuD world

Check the version pulled in is less than the 2.8 series, if not change the package.mask entry to exclude the lower 2.8 version being pulled in.

Which will pull in previous mono series and downgrade dependencies accordingly. Working fine for me today.

The problem was that Mono.GetOption is not presented in new versions of Mono like 2.8.x.

In new versions of Docky we can see it is fixed but I am getting error:

Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: Width / Height must be greater than 0 if icon is not a file or embedded resource

exec mono --debug /usr/lib/docky/Docky.exe gives this:
