[Mono-devel-list] Building mono1.1.4 on linux ppc

[Jeffrey Knight]

I've been trying unsuccessfully to build mono1.1.4 from the tarball on
linuxppc (gentoo).

With a straighforward ./configure --with-prefix=/usr/local, the make
fails with complaints about GC_local_Malloc. Lupus helped me through
this one, letting me know that I needed --with-tls=pthread.
(He said he'd update the README; I'll test adding ppc-*-linux* to
libgc/configure:3686 once I get it to build)

That gets me a little further, but it still fails further down the
line (see below).
The problem isn't with VisualBasic -- if I exclude that, it throws the
same  Unmanaged Exception in System.Design.

Has anyone been able to build mono1.1.4 on linuxppc ?
