[Mono-devel-list] Building mcs with generics profile

[Alan Jenkins]

I have just downloaded mono/mcs 0.30.  I followed the instructions in
the mono docs to build mcs using the generics profile (after building &
installing mono).  It fails because it tries to compile the source for
gmcs.exe using gmcs.exe:

src at nova:~/mcs-0.30> ./configure --profile=generics

MCS module configured

     Profile selected: generics
     Prefix:           /usr/local

src at nova:~/mcs-0.30> make

Is this my problem, is the makefile at fault, or should gmcs.exe be
provided (like mcs.exe is, from the mono package)?
