[XS6] Cannot debug on Mac without changing global default .NET runtime preference #25

Closed sandyarmstrong closed 8 years ago

sandyarmstrong commented 8 years ago 
XS 6.0 (build 4520)
Addin Maker 1.3.0 installed from gallery
OS: Mac OS X Yosemite

(this works fine on Windows)

When debugging an addin project in a default install of XS6, launch of the new XS instance fails because it is using the default configured .NET runtime, which is 32-bit. XS6 on Mac now requires 64-bit Mono.

You need to go to Preferences -> Projects -> .NET Runtimes and select a 64-bit runtime.

Filing an issue because I'm not sure it makes sense to require this setting globally.

TBH I consider this to be an XS bug. There's no way to mark the app as requiring 64-bit, and if I launch the native stub instead of the exe then debugging won't work.

Sounds good, I'll close this then.
