Fastreport Mono under Debian, how to create pdf from frx-file

horshackhorshack
in FastReport.Mono

My first use is Fastreport-Desktop under Windows. I create an frx-file with the designer-programm. After that I call fastreport.exe (sorry, don't know syntax exactly, because I am not in my office) with a parameter-file and frx-file. The result is a pdf-file.

I wish I could do this in my debian-linux environment. So I installed a brand new debian-machine with graphical X-environment. Download fastreport-mono and install it:

# install mono:
apt-get install gnupg dirmngr apt-transport-https ca-certificates -y
apt remove --purge --auto-remove mono-runtime
apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb https://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian stable-buster main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-official-stable.list'
apt-get update
apt-get install mono-complete

# install fastreport
lynx https://www.fast-report.com/en/download/fast-report-mono/
dpkg -i fastreport-mono-demo_all.deb

I find a lot of frx-files, for example:

/usr/share/fastreport-mono-demo/Demo/Demos/Reports/Text.frx

How can I create a very simple pdf-file from this frx file from the command line?

Thanks for your help,

Richard
