|
|    Sometimes there is a change in the layout of some corlib
| classes known
| by the runtime. When this happens, you have to compile a new
| corlib
| first with the old runtime, then compile a new runtime. When
| you do
| it the other way, it will not work.

I also had a problem building corlib these past few days. And I *always*
build the class libs first before building the new runtime, but even so I
still had a similar problem as Ben. Probably I was careless or something.

Regardless, it does happen sometimes even when you think you know what you
are doing.  A simple solution is to provide just the corlib.dll somewhere,
for anyone to download when it happens to them.  If you know you are going
to break sync, then maybe you can upload a new corlib.dll somewhere in case
someone gets messed up (like I was until mmarker kindly helped me out).

Thoughts?
