GType.g_type_init() does not find libgobject-2.0-0.dll

(Line 10 effectively calls Application.Init())

If there is anything I can do in order to resolve this problem or help the whole project, I'm there :-)

It seems like changing the DllImport-Attributes value from libgobject-2.0-0.dll to the correct libgobject-2.0.so would help for linux but this behaviour would not be interchangeable...

I'm using ArchLinux/Antergos and dotnet core 2.0.0 (1:2.0.0-3)

Workaround: Replace "libgobject-2.0-0.dll" with "libgobject-2.0.so" in Global.cs

Things outstanding

• The glue libs are not set to compile at the moment (I plan on using scons to figure that out)
• The build needs to be migrated to .Net core 2.0

At the moment the source is just a copy / paste of the existing gtksharp (for gtk 3.0) but with python scripts to generate the source code

[julian-villing]

I have ported the libraries to Linux, if you are interested. It works now and I was able to compile and run a simple demo application

[Hecatron]

I'm quite surprised at that since this project is really only half done
