[Mono-devel-list] runtime build got broken under windows

[Atsushi Eno]

Hello,

Today I tried mono runtime build on windows as usual, but it
failed under mono/metadata:

/bin/bash ../../libtool --mode=link gcc -mno-cygwin -g -O -I
/opt/gnome2.4.1/include -fno-strict-aliasing -g -Wall -Wunused
-Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wstrict-prototypes

Actually, there were many traps to reach here.

First, I had to specify "--with-gc=boehm" which had not been
required until a few days ago. Now it rejects conf_flags written in
autogen.sh[*1], and when I removed them, it started to complain
variable names[*2]. With the option above, I could build and run
mono for a few recent days.

Second, today's "make" failed to stop when gmake faced against the
error above. So I found this compilation error at "make install"
stage. This had not happened until today.

I haven't updated cygwin stuff since the last successful build (and
for a while). At least I made clean build yesterday.

[*1]
configure: error: invalid feature name: maintainer-mode
configure: error: /bin/bash './configure' failed for libgc

[*2]
configure: error: invalid variable name: CFLAGS

Any ideas to recover from those problems?

Thanks,
