Monodevelop - Ubuntu - exe file as output?

Question

Hi everyone,

OK I'm creating an app in MonoDevelop for Ubuntu Linux, but the compiled file is always a windows exe, I've set it to compile as a Linux Binary but I'm confused, can anyone shed any light on how to get a proper Linux way of opening the program?

Thanks

It compiles to be a .NET executable assembly - these are always .exe files.

You can run it in linux by calling the mono runtime:

mono myExe.exe
