Xamarin GTK on Rapsberry Pi: rasbian Buster

[Graveen]

Hello, I have troubles installing on a brand new Raspbian buster Xamarin.Forms GTK. (Xamarin.Forms 4.7.0) Let's say i'm running "GameOfLife". Everything is OK on Windows (Xamarin Forms / GTK) Now i want to run it on Raspbian:

1. installing mono from Xamarin repo: ok (6.8.0)
2. apt install gtk-sharp2 (ok: 2.10 but also labeled 2.12). I note there is also gtk-sharp3
3. copy bin/ from Windows, and execute it with "mono GameOfLife.GTK.exe"
4. i have now DllNotFoundException "libglib-2.0-0.dll not found" error, adding it to /etc/mono/config which leads to various errors related to others assemblies not found
5. Finally, i'm stuck on DllNotFoundException"gtksdharpglue-2", which i'm unable to find in the /etc/mono/config nor on the sdcard of my pi.

What am i doing wrong please ?

Adding all the missing DLL worked, but it is tedious. Any idea why ?
