[Mono-devel-list] System.NullReferenceException during MCS build

[Sebastian Bergmann]

  1.) I downloaded

        http://www.go-mono.com/archive/mono-0.24.tar.gz

      and installed it to

        /usr/local/mono

      and added

        /usr/local/mono/bin

      to $PATH.

  2.) I checked out the current CVS version of mono and installed it to

        /usr/local/mono

  3.) I checked out the current CVS version of mcs and during the build
      I get this:

mcs /target:exe  -o mcs.exe AssemblyInfo.cs anonymous.cs assign.cs
attribute.cs driver.cs cs-parser.cs cs-tokenizer.cs tree.cs location.cs
cfold.cs class.cs codegen.cs const.cs constant.cs convert.cs decl.cs

symbolwriter.cs

  Any hint on how to resolve this would be appreciated, thanks,
Sebastian
