Unable to run compiled application on linux

[DebugDax]

Hello,

I have attempted to get a compiled server executable to run on linux but I keep getting Unhandled Exceptions. I am compiling in VS2013/VS2015 on Win8.1x64

I have not been able to get even the included samples to run on my Debian 8 box, executing for instance the "EncryptionSample/EncryptionServer.exe" I get the following:

Unhandled Exception:

I saw another issue posting here that stated to include __CONSTRAINED__ in the defined symbols field, which causes the compiler to use PlatformConstrained.cs instead of PlatformWin32.cs, when applying this change my error changes to:

I see it mentioning MWCRandom inside NetRandom, the only line I can find referencing that is: public static NetRandom Instance = new MWCRandom();

I'm unsure how to proceed further as my internet research does not pull up much on the way of MWC.

Leaving out __CONSTRAINED__, I am able to run the executables in Windows without any issue. I am using the mono-complete package v4.2.1 on my linux box.

Any help is appreciated, Thanks.

The first exception is from mono, it doesn't support GetNetMask() in the version you are using. Update maybe?

Had the same problem. Upgraded from mono 4.2.1 to 5.0.1.1. Problem is fixed then.
