Hey,

I'm attempting to get this working on my HP Envy x360 Convertable 13-ay0xxx running Gentoo linux.

I'm having trouble with the nbfc.exe config command.

jay@jf-envy ~/gentoo/nbfc/Linux/bin/Release $ mono nbfc.exe status
Service enabled		: False
Read-only		: False
Selected config name	: 
Temperature		: 0

Could not get fan info because the service is disabled
jay@jf-envy ~/gentoo/nbfc/Linux/bin/Release $ mono nbfc.exe set
Invalid speed value
jay@jf-envy ~/gentoo/nbfc/Linux/bin/Release $ mono nbfc.exe config --list
Could not load file or assembly 'StagWare.FanControl.Configurations, Version=2.5.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object

As you can see, set and status appear to work, but config causes breakage.

I'll note the file exists, and appears to be the same type as the other dll files:

StagWare.FanControl.Configurations.dll: PE32 executable (DLL) (console) Intel 80386 Mono/.Net assembly, for MS Windows
jay@jf-envy ~/gentoo/nbfc/Linux/bin/Release $ file StagWare.BiosInfo.dll 
StagWare.BiosInfo.dll: PE32 executable (DLL) (console) Intel 80386 Mono/.Net assembly, for MS Windows
jay@jf-envy ~/gentoo/nbfc/Linux/bin/Release $ file StagWare.Settings.dll 
StagWare.Settings.dll: PE32 executable (DLL) (console) Intel 80386 Mono/.Net assembly, for MS Windows

There were a few warnings while building, which I suspect could be related:

Warnings:

/home/jay/gentoo/nbfc/Windows/Setup/NbfcSetup/NbfcSetup.wixproj:  warning : Could not find project file /usr/lib/mono/xbuild/Microsoft/WiX/v3.x/Wix.targets, to import. Ignoring.
/home/jay/gentoo/nbfc/Windows/Setup/NbfcBootstrapper/NbfcBootstrapper.wixproj:  warning : Could not find project file /usr/lib/mono/xbuild/Microsoft/WiX/v3.x/Wix.targets, to import. Ignoring.

/home/jay/gentoo/nbfc/NoteBookFanControl.sln:  warning : Don't know how to handle GlobalSection ExtensibilityGlobals, Ignoring.

Full build.log is available here: https://gist.github.com/jayofdoom/e250d23868ec57bc5e7c69d59e4df337

I'm happy to help troubleshoot if given instructions; but I'm not super familiar with mono on linux.

Thanks!
