on Ubuntu xenial (with mono-mcs 4.2.1.102+dfsg2-7ubuntu4) I'm getting these build errors:

Thanks for any insights.

Let me know how I can help with this.

My fault - two of the files (plus the documentation chm) need to be re-generated whenever new tests are added. You do:

$ make gendoc
$ pushd  GenerateFValData/bin/Debug/
$ mono GenerateFValData.exe 
$ popd
$ resgen OTFontFileVal/OTFontFileVal.ValStrings.resx

I meant to add this to the buiild instruction for a long time, but waiting for

https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=34091 "resgen introduces dependency to versioned System.Windows.Forms"

to be fixed to add it. So now this is documented here... This should go into the README.

Currrently building the chm requires manually patching the central index plus running Microsoft htmlhelp worksop (under wine). This should be documented as well. But the newly filled "NewHelp" directory contain html help which is largely functional as is.

And if you are a purist you might want to build SharpFont from source (my fork) also .

Oh, and my fork of mono-webbrowser (only the GUI needs it, as well as webkit-sharp). My private fork of freetype - not yet public - contains the rasterization/hinting test. The C# code auto-detects whether the freetype present is suitable and does the right thing (i.e. go ahead and run that part of test or tell the user detected freetype isn't enhanced).

So this post explains why all the binary blobs are in bin .
