[Mono-devel-list] make distcheck problems

[IT2003_1: Morenz, Tino]

Hi everyone,

I am new to this list so as short introduction: I am currently working on the port of mono to QNX. 
I try to get make distcheck work on the QNX box.
But 'make distcheck'seem to stops with gzip problem (I can not figure out the exact error however).

Here is the output:

*****************************************************************************************

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/smee/src/mono-1.1.8.1'

*.zip*) \
  unzip mono-1.1.8.1.zip ;;\
esac
make: *** [distcheck] Error 1

Any ideas (e.g. how to get info _why_ make fails here)? 
make tries to create a new zipped archive, right? Why? 
Can anybody explain what distcheck is doing exactly?

Thanks,
