[Mono-devel-list] make install problems on gentoo system

[Chris Nuernberger]

Thanks, simply using prefix=/usr worked like a charm.

Whether I should or shouldn't have to edit any makefile.am files is
irrelevant; automake fails with errors having to do with the '!'
conditionals if I don't.  The syntax is completely correct according to the
GNU documentation, but the automake that gets installed on gentoo systems if
you keep them updated chokes with three different makefile.am files.  The
one in mono/mini, one in runtime, and one other.  Here are the errors I
get...
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr

versions of stuff are...

Now if I fix those problems (don't ask how, just local fixes), and run make
bootstrap, I come across these errors:
creating libmono.la
(cd .libs && rm -f libmono.la && ln -s ../libmono.la
libmono.la)

Now I fix these errors by editing the Makefile.am (again) to ensure that
inssel.c and .h are compiled into the mono shared lib (probably related to
the fix I did for:
mono/mini/Makefile.am:173: invalid unused variable name:
`nodist_libmono_la_SOURCES'
) and then things compile and I can install.  

Then it installs and works fine.  sweet.  Looks like the only real problem
is something to do with automake.

build with ./configure --prefix=/usr

and you shouldnt need to edit any of the makefile.am files.
