Paint.mono - Paint.net for Linux

(1/1)

N3Cr0:
Most Windows users prefer the graphics editor Paint.net - an alternative to GIMP, which is too hard to use for some people. Linux users complained it is only available as Windows binaries, but there is a solution: It was ported (unofficially) from .NET to Mono.

About Mono:

--- Quote ---Mono

An open source, cross-platform, implementation of C# and the CLR that is binary compatible with Microsoft.NET
--- End quote ---

So Installing should be pretty easy: Just install the Mono development packages and get the latest subversion of Paint.mono

Easiest way for Ubuntu users:


--- Code: ---$ sudo apt-get install mono-devel monodevelop mono-tools-gui mono-tools-devel subversion
--- End code ---

Switch to the directory where you want to save the program.


--- Code: ---$ svn co http://paint-mono.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src paint-mono
$ cd paint-mono
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
--- End code ---

You can now simply start the program with

--- Code: ---$ paintdotnet
--- End code ---



Have fun  :excited:

Vanico:
I'm not using Linux, but Paint.net is a great tool and I'm glad that Linux Users can enjoy it too :)

Veica:
I tried this a while back and couldn't get it to install properly :(
Maybe I'll try it again later...
