[Banshee-List] Error running banshee with community-extensions with newly created extension

[Timo Dörr <timo latecrew de>]

Hi folks, hope this is the right mailing list as i am not 100% sure if  
community-extension topics are discussed here.

As I want tot develop a new banshee extension, I followed the instructions  
here: http://banshee.fm/contribute/write-extensions/ to grab  
community-extension from git and built-it. The create-extension script  
finishes without errors, however after build when i try "make run" banshee  
does not start up but throws an exception:

Here is the complete output from "./create-extension Foo":

td@develbox:~/Projects/banshee-community-extensions> ./create-extension Foo
Creating new extension: 'Foo'
================================================================================

Running ./autogen.sh
Running make

================================================================================
================================================================================
Your extension has been created, and all the necessary files ready
to commit to git:

# On branch master
# Changes to be committed:
#   (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
#	modified:   Extensions.sln
#	modified:   configure.ac
#	new file:   src/Foo/Banshee.Foo/FooSource.cs
#	new file:   src/Foo/Foo.addin.xml
#	new file:   src/Foo/Foo.csproj
#	new file:   src/Foo/Makefile.am
#	modified:   src/Makefile.am
#

You can commit it now, or after you've started customizing it!

You can undo the creation of this extension, and revert to the last commit  
with
git reset --hard HEAD

You can run Banshee with your newely created extension right now!  Just  
run:
make run

NOTE: Do not forget to enable your extension within Preferences >  
Extensions
<<< end of create-extension output>>>


Here is the output of "make run", including the stacktrace of the  
exception (running banshee normally without make run works for 2.1.3  
without problems):

make: *** [run] Error 1


I am on openSUSE 11.4, with banshee 2.1.3 installed from the Unstable/  
repo from  
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Banshee:/Unstable/Banshee_openSUSE_11.4/  
and mono installed from the repo:  
http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/download-stable/openSUSE_11.4

Using banshee stable with latest git of community-extension does not work,  
as banshee-thickclient > 2.1.0 is needed.

Here the output of some modversion vom pkg-config:

td@develbox:~/Projects/banshee-community-extensions> pkg-config  
--modversion banshee-core
2.1.3
td@develbox:~/Projects/banshee-community-extensions> pkg-config  
--modversion banshee-thickclient
2.1.3
td@develbox:~/Projects/banshee-community-extensions> pkg-config  
--modversion mono-addins
0.6.1
td@develbox:~/Projects/banshee-community-extensions> pkg-config  
--modversion mono
2.10.2


Is this a bug in banshee / mono-addins / community-extension or am I  
missing something here?


Greetings,
T. Doerr
