My first attempt was on an Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) which failed. It seems that the mono package was outdated.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_3_9hszUVsaE/SGsqf-TCXaI/AAAAAAAAAVg/8rZH8YEcawI/s1600-h/Screenshot.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_3_9hszUVsaE/SGsqf-TCXaI/AAAAAAAAAVg/8rZH8YEcawI/s400/Screenshot.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218311322026007970" border="0" /></a><br /><br />It can be done with a few simple steps:<br /><br /><pre>$ sudo apt-get install mono-common libmono* mono-gmcs<br />$ svn co http://paint-mono.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src paint-mono<br />$ cd paint-mono<br />$ ./configure<br />$ make<br />$ make install<br />$ paintdotnet</pre><br />The first line installs the needed <a href="http://www.debian.org/">Debian</a> packages, the second downloads the Paint.NET source code, and lines 3 to 6 compile and install Paint.NET from the source code. To execute the program, simply follow line 7 in executing it from the command-line.<br /><br />Based on the command-line execution, I made a shortcut on my desktop so it will be easy to start Paint.NET.<br /><br/>RadXhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01424053151456883940noreply@blogger.com
