Gtk sharp 2 msi improvements

[riccioclista]

This is a PR for the gtk-sharp-2-12-branch.

This PR aims to streamline the msi installer generation process by including the binaries for Mono.Posix.dll (taken from mono 3.2.3 win32 release) and pulling Mono.Cairo directly from this repository (instead of using a manually imported .msm file).

This looks good to me, as long as the installer works, we should update the binary to be compatible with the latest mono release.

Want confirmation from @bratsche that it's good to merge.

I've updated the binaries. There was a small problem though: Mono releases since 4.0 don't include fully signed Mono.Posix DLLs. The last release with fully signed DLLs was 3.12.1. So I took the binaries from that release.

Hi!

It looks like this fixes a rather old issue from 2012 [1]. I stumbled into this by doing some some testing with Visual Studio for Mac and Gtk# when attempting to run my Application on Windows. (After installing the Latest Gtk# Runtime from [2]).

The current stable Gtk# Installer for Windows still just installs Mono.Posix 2.0.0, but any new Gtk# Project created with Visual Studio for Mac (and presumably MonoDevelop) references Mono.Posix 4.0.0. As a result the .exe will not launch on Windows.

Are there any plans to merge this and release an updated Installer for Windows in the near future?

In the meantime, the way to "fix" this seems to be this NuGet Package [3]. But IMHO it would be much nicer if the Gtk# Installer is updated accordingly. ;)

Thanks,
David

And please remove Build() from constructure. I want write own because it is clean than Build() because MonoDevelop or Visual Studio 2017 Community don't know for GTK 2 with hidden C# Generate.cs.- Please make sure without Build();

I like GTK2 for Linux with OpenTK 2.0 / 3.0 pre.
PS: Old version of GlWidget doesn't work for me. 👎
How do I write own GlWidget-like OpenGLView for GTK2.0

Please explain me! I want release applications ( alternative Sledge Hammer ) for Half-Life under Linux and FreeBSD.

And how does it work for MenuBar if I click New -> New map than it shows menus like advanced "menu items" like WPF or WinForms has not problem with if-else statements "!MyEditMenu...." just if it doesn't exist than menu will add. or if-else statement with "MyEditMenu...." exists than it will remove

Is it sure supporting for GTK 2 too?
And how is MDI container for GTK2 like WinForms / WPF? Sorry I can't find google :( because GTK2 has not mdi but I don't understand why Gimp has GTK2 with built-in mdi mode?

Thanks!
