[Mono-devel-list] Problems building mono from CVS

[Rafael Teixeira]

Well looking at that output

exec /tmp/cvs/.NET/mono/libtool --mode=execute
/tmp/cvs/.NET/mono/mono/mini/mono --config
/tmp/cvs/.NET/mono/data/config ../../mcs/mcs.exe -d:NET_1_1
-d:ONLY_1_1 -g /noconfig /r:mscorlib.dll /target:library
/out:System.dll @System.dll.sources
cannot open assembly "--config"

it sure looks like mono (the runtime executable) is not recognizing
properly the --config command-line option as documented in
http://www.gotmono.com/docs/tools/mono-cmdlo.html. I can´t access a
mono machine just now so you could check your mono man page and mono
--help, to see if it still should accept it and test-it by itself: 
"mono --config /etc/mono/config /opt/mono/bin/mcs.exe", for instance.

Someone may have changed to single-dash, as some other programs in
mono now use (those using Mono.GetOptions accept both forms).

Hope it helps,
