[Mono-osx] Bundled mono console application on OS X throwing gthread errors.

[silver83]

Thanks, I'll take a look at it.
I'd really love to know what causes this gthread error....

>From a reference I found in the thread you quoted, there is an article : 
http://www.codeshorts.ca/2007/nov/01/leopard-linking-making-relocatable-libraries-movin

It notes that @executable_path no longer works ? what the ... is this true ?

I saw the C# code for the Nant tasks in monoobjc (my guess is you mainly
refered to this - MakebundleTask and it's neighbors).

Any additional details and clues on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
