[Mono-dev] Cross compiling mono for arm-linux targated at 2.6 kernel

[Vinayak Naik]

Hi,

I am trying to compile mono-1.1.13.8 for a arm-linux device running
2.6 kernel. I tried to use mono for nokia 770 but it failed. I guess
the reason is because nokia 770 uses 2.4 kernel.

I tried to use scratchbox but it failed since my device is new and its
toolchain is not yet provided for scratchbox. Hence I am trying the
old way of cross-compilation.

I configured using "/configure --target=arm-linux --host=i686-linux
--prefix=/usr/arm-linux" command. Then, I ran make which resulted in
the compilation error at the bottom of the email.

Any idea what is the reason behind the error?

Thanks,
