[Mono-dev] Mono latest built on OpenSolaris and now moving to solaris

[pablosantosluac at terra.es]

Hi Andreas,

ulimit?

Well, it basically fixed *everything*. Let me explain:

- I installed a new OpenSolaris box, gcc and everything else.
- The c code compiles perfectly but as soon as it has to run the mono 
binary... it breaks.

It *always* says it can't find the mcs that it's not a valid runtime and 
so on. (and yes, I moved the built in mcs away).

Then you run:

$ ulimit -Hs $((10*1024))

(explained at 
http://www.mail-archive.com/mono-bugs@lists.ximian.com/msg41990.html)

And mcs compiles, and all the libraries, and libgdiplus, and you get 
wonderful things like:

and http://codicesoftware.blogspot.com/2008/12/opensolaris-and-mwf.html

So, the last time I crashed against a wall trying to build mono on 
solaris... I was only one "ulimit" away from the solution :-(

Feliz navidad!
