[Mono-devel-list] Numerous GC warnings when building NAnt

[Gert Driesen]

Hi,

When building NAnt (cvs) on Mono (cvs) using, for example, the
bootstrapped version of NAnt, I now get numerous (100 or more) GC
warnings.

eg. GC Warning: Finalization cycle involving 82e0a18

You can reproduce this using :

export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nant
cvs -z3 co nant
cd nant
# temporary workaround for mono bug #57602
cp bin/lib/mono/1.0/log4net.dll bin/
make

You might have to update the path to your Mono installation in
src/NAnt.Console/NAnt.Console.exe.config (in
nant/frameworks/platform[@name='unix']/framework[name='mono-1.0']),
first, if you prefix is not /usr/local.

Should I report this or is this just some debug message that needs to be
removed from Mono ?
