Really useful article.
I’ve written an article about how to create a RubyGem on a Windows PC.

Keep up the good work,

Thanks for the tip!

I spent almost an hour trying to figure out how to solve the System.Windows.Forms.dll 1.0.5000.0 not found in the Global Assembly Cache error.

It’s just dumb that this is not included by default. How do they expect people to run existing .NET 1.1 software?

(BTW, the asterisk is required on the apt-get statement listed above.)

Thanks again!

Thanks for the tip on the libmono-winforms package, kinda hard to find any information about it!
