Mono32 Won't work, Mono64 throws errors

Question

Hello I'm trying to get an open-source windows program to work on my mac.

The tool https://github.com/Quandra/PokemonSunMoonRNGTool

I installed mono through the website not the brew.sh,

Here's the log:

WARNING: The Carbon driver has not been ported to 64bits, and very few parts of Windows.Forms will work properly, or at all

=================================================================
Got a SIGSEGV while executing native code. This usually indicates
a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries 
used by your application.
=================================================================

I'm running the lastest mac os and have downloaded a sizeable amount of libraries from brew.sh

Would there be anyway I could convert the code to a different compiler so that I can use it. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Carbon is not implemented for 64bit architecture. You can control mono's architecture via "arch" switch. Try running your app from terminal via:

mono --arch=32 your_app_name.exe
