Hello fellow devs.
I’m facing a small hurdle and hoped to get some advice from you.
Here’s the setup :
Monogame 3.8
DesktopGL
.net core 6
self contained publishing, from Linux
Things are working fine on Linux and Windows, it’s
almost
perfect.
However, I noticed that when running the build result under Windows,
the game is launched with a command console
, and that’s not what i want.
In order to solve that, I published the game from Windows, and it works as expected, no console displayed.
I’m not very keen on having to boot on Windows in order to publish my game, so I was wondering if there were a better and easiest way to proceed.
Thanks in advance.
Edit : clarifying
Thanks for your answer.
It’s already the case.
As I stated, publishing for Win from Win gives the expected result, where publishing for Win from Linux, leads to a console window displayed.
As a matter of fact, I tested the official monogame cornflower blue template, .net3.1 and the results are the same.
Why dotnet publish -r win-x64 -c release /p:PublishSingleFile=true produce different exe files on Windows and macOS?
It is strange that behavior of...

Thanks for tracking this down
Indeed I was sure it was a dotnet issue, but i was expecting someone to have a workaround.
Looks like I’ll have to publish using windows until then.
There might be another workaround using
rcedit
. You can see this dirty hack I did here to add an icon to my app under Linux:
github.com
- name: rcedit icon fix
run: |
mkdir dep
cd dep
npm init -y
npm i rcedit
cd ..
wine dep/node_modules/rcedit/bin/rcedit-x64.exe ./artifacts/windows/Mitten.exe --set-icon ./Platforms/DesktopGL/Icon.ico
