[Mono-dev] Error (it says warning, but goes into infinite loop) when building mono from svn

[Steen Manniche]

Hi all.

In the last couple of days, I've been trying to build mono from svn.
During autogen, I get a warning about a unsupported conditional
definition in the mono/mono/mini/Makefile.am. 

Here's the story:
$ ./autogen.sh
**Warning**: I am going to run `configure' with no arguments.
If you wish to pass any to it, please specify them on the
`./autogen.sh' command line.

I have tried with autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local, but reach the same
result.

Any ideas?
