Dont use full paths to gtk dlls on linux #40

To address https://github.com/Mono-Game/MonoGame.Dependencies/issues/39.

Not sure what kind of testing is required, I was able to run the pipeline tool successfully after this change and not prior.

@cra0zy @dellis1972 - This seem right to you guys?

Also going to wait till after 3.3 is released to merge this.

This will not work on Ubuntu, this was the first thing I tried when I was setting up config files. I've excluded these files and the dlls from linux installer in https://github.com/mono/MonoGame/pull/3426

If someone could modify Protobuild stuff to not copy gtk and other dll files to the output folder at all, that would be the best fix, because that way the system gtk files would be loaded instead.

Will that fix https://github.com/Mono-Game/MonoGame.Dependencies/issues/39 ?

It does fix #39 if people are installing monogame pipeline using the installer. The thing that is not fixed is if the person with non Ubunut linux distro tries to compile from source and just runs the Pipeline. He will either have to delete those few dll files or modify config files.

On all Linux distros including Ubuntu then?

So this is Ubuntu specific if working from source code?

Just trying to work out what the issue is and how we need to fix it.

Yes

Just trying to work out what the issue is and how we need to fix it.

Here are all the possible ways this issue can be fixed, choose one:

Use system gtk libraries when compiling instead of the local ones, change in PipelineReferences.definition. The problem with this is that the build server doesn't have gtk installed. There is gtk for .net here: http://www.monodevelop.com/download/
Disable local copies of gtk libraries in PipelineReferences.definition The problem is I could not find the command for Protobuild.exe that does that.
Copy all the needed .so files to dependencies.

Gonna close this... the work @cra0zy is doing will resolve this.
