[Mono-dev] mono_config_parse won't link, needs extern "C" declaration in header file

[Sebastian Good]

Robert, thanks for your reply! The threads.h issue was indeed fixed in 1.9.
It seems to me that adding G_{BEGIN/END}_DECLS to mono-config.h requires a
recompile because it causes the functions to be exported as undecorated C
signatures, rather than fully decorated C++ signatures. This was the only
way I could link against the mono libraries (which I do statically). Am I
misunderstanding something?

As for the other issues, the only one remaining in 1.9 is that the Embedding
Mono documentation (http://www.mono-project.com/Embedding_Mono) discusses
calling another function (mono_set_defaults) to enable optimization in the
JIT which does not seem to be in any .H files available in /include.

Cheers!

Sebastian
