MAC: Mono Helloworld example

I did a fresh install of Mono on my OSX Yosemite and tried the examples on http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/mono-basics/.

The Console Hello World example runs without problem but when I tried the WindowsForm Hello World, I got the following error :

System.EntryPointNotFoundException: GdipCreateFromContext_macosx at (wrapper managed-to-native) System.Drawing.GDIPlus:GdipCreateFromContext_macosx (intptr,int,int,intptr&)
