Can't get it working on Ubuntu 16.04.1

[wouterh-dev]

First of all the releases are msi files which make them hard to use with mono. Seems no way to run them.

I've both tried with the mono that comes with my distribution and xamarin mono and the results are the same. When trying to run the extracted .exe I get (libmono-system-windows-forms4.0-cil is installed):

Unhandled Exception:
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'StopWatch.NativeMethods' threw an exception. ---> System.EntryPointNotFoundException: RegisterWindowMessage
  at (wrapper managed-to-native) StopWatch.NativeMethods:RegisterWindowMessage (string)
  at StopWatch.NativeMethods..cctor () <0x40b525e0 + 0x00013> in <filename unknown>:0 
  --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

  at StopWatch.NativeMethods..cctor () <0x40b525e0 + 0x00013> in <filename unknown>:0 
  --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

So then I tried compiling, but this gives me:

/home/ubuntu/jirastopwatch/StopWatch.sln (default targets) ->
(Build target) ->
/home/ubuntu/jirastopwatch/source/StopWatch/StopWatch.csproj (default targets) ->
/usr/lib/mono/4.5/Microsoft.Common.targets (GenerateResources target) ->

    /usr/lib/mono/4.5/Microsoft.Common.targets: error : Tool exited with code: 1. Output: Error: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
Inner exception: AND data length expected 512, read 0

Any thoughts?

It's been a while since I last tried to compile it on my own Linux Mint. I will give it a go, as soon as I've found the time for it.

As for the releases: I only ship binaries for the Windows platform, since this is where I use 90% of my computer-time at the moment. But when I get it to compile again, I would very much like to partner up with someone who could do a .DEB package.

[wouterh-dev]

Regarding the releases, just publishing an archive containing the .exe and required dll and files would probably be sufficient, no packaging really needed.

[carstengehling]

I've added a zip-file with just the binaries and no installer. Hope this helps: https://github.com/carstengehling/jirastopwatch/releases/latest

That is helpful, unfortunately it still seems to crash under both mono and wine.

Mono:

Wine (gets a bit further since a messagebox pops up informing of the error):

From what I can tell this is related to the loading of icons.

I recently tried again on a CentOS box. This time, with mono, I'm getting errors regarding user32 at NativeMethods.cs which makes sense since mono does not support this.

Trying with wine gets me a bit further, the application shows a message box telling me to share the logfile, which contains:

I don't know if you had any further luck with this issue but I just got the following:

jeemo@Qosmio:~/Downloads/jirastopwatch-master/source/StopWatch$ mcs Program.cs Program.cs(20,22): error CS0234: The type or namespace name Forms' does not exist in the namespaceSystem.Windows'. Are you missing `System.Windows.Forms' assembly reference? Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warnings

• Please note that while I am not a TOTAL newb with ubuntu, I've never heard of mono before JiraStopWatch so let me know if I am completely off-base.

Thanks!

[carstengehling]

Hi @JeeMo I think that you are missing the .NET SDK while compiling. I've never used mcs directly, only compiled using Xamarin Studios. Also you are trying to build just a single .CS file and not the entire project (StopWatch.csproj). The project file includes all the references needed.

I've not had time to work on the Linux/OSX compability for quite a while. My time is a bit limited at the moment.

[wouterh-dev]

Why is this closed? Has the issue been resolved?

No but it also isn't going to be resolved by my hand. I simply haven't got the time. You can team up with @joseeloren on #95 and see if you can figure out a way to make it work.

[JeeMo]

@carstengehling Thanks for the insights and the program. I also use it on win10 and really appreciate it.

[VladimirPal]

@wouterhund You can try another jira client - https://github.com/web-pal/chronos-timetracker it works on linux as well
