16:44    _aLfa_|work    Any idea why it won't compile?
16:44    _aLfa_|work    This worked fine before I changed the namespace from
"gui" to "GCommunity"
16:45    _aLfa_|work    I did a grep to find any left-over reference to "gui"
and there is none
16:46        *** lanwin quit (lanwin)
16:47        *** jstedfast is now known as jeff__
16:48        *** arnec joined #mono
16:49    SlikkTic    wow thats a long compile line =O
16:51    _aLfa_|work    You can discard 90% of it, lol
16:51        *** rcjsuen joined #mono
16:54    _aLfa_|work    Can anyone help me? I don't want to make a new project
and copy paste all the code to it. |:
16:54    marek1    could you run in with --debug
16:54    _aLfa_|work    Yes
16:55    marek1    I mean MONO_OPTIONS=--debug
16:55    _aLfa_|work    o
16:55    _aLfa_|work    sec

17:00    marek1    hmm, that really didn't help
17:00    _aLfa_|work    ):
17:00    marek1    which mono version? and what is inside assemblyinfo.cs
17:01    _aLfa_|work    ono JIT compiler version 2.0.1 (tarball)
17:01    _aLfa_|work    +M
17:01        *** spouliot is now known as spouliot_lunch
17:01    _aLfa_|work    AssemblyInfo.cs: http://www.mibbit.com/pb/ubN3XI
17:02    marek1    could you try to compile without it
17:03    _aLfa_|work    Yes
17:03    _aLfa_|work    It worked
17:03    _aLfa_|work    What the hell?
17:05    marek1    would you mind filling a bug report
17:05    _aLfa_|work    Sure, no problem
17:06    _aLfa_|work    Could you link me
17:06    kangaroo    bugzilla.novell.com
17:06    _aLfa_|work    Thank you
17:06    marek1    as a workaround, don't use String.Empty for AssemblyKeyFile

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Set AssemblyKeyFile to String.Empy
Actual Results:  
Mono fails the compilation with a null reference exception.

Expected Results:  
It should have compiled it like it does if I set the value to "" instead.
