Once your application successfully runs on Mono on Linux, it's time to package it up
for distribution.
Step 1:
Add a new item to your project.
Step 2:
Choose "Linux Package Definition".
Step 3:
On the "General" tab, fill out basic information about your package.
Step 4:
On the "Files" tab, add the files you wish to include in your package.
Hint: If you are packaging a GUI or Console Application, right click your startup executable and choose "Set as Startup Executable". This is the assembly that will get launched from your menu item.
Step 5:
On the "Dependencies" tab, you can set what Mono libraries or other packages your application depends on. You can also specify what dependencies your application provides.
Hint: If you click on the "Refresh" button, your assemblies will be scanned and your Mono dependencies will be automatically determined.
You can then tweak them if you like.
Step 6:
Once you click "Build Package", your package will be built and ready for you (and your users) to install on SUSE Linux.
