Hello all,

I just noticed there are some FreeBSD threads in the list, so ill post
the problems im currently having with mono 2.0.1 on FreeBSD 7.

The latest 'stable' release of mono on FreeBSD is 1.2.5.1 wich is quite
old. Some programs are requiring a new version, so the idea is to
upgrade all to the latest version. It would be very interesting to fix
issues to make mono work without problems on FreeBSD again. 

Some programs are not working with 2.0.1 (like f-spot) i think becouse
the same reason some tests are failing. 

Latests port can be found in:
http://code.google.com/p/bsd-sharp/source/browse/#svn/trunk/lang/mono

Currently patches applied:

You could probably checkout the sources and execute the tests:

Failed tests:

exception.exe
remoting2.exe
remoting3.exe
generics-sharing.2.exe
generic-null-call.2.exe
thunks.exe
bug-78549.exe
gmake: *** [testjit] Error 1
*** Error code 2


I was building a LiveCD for taking the problem closer to any of you, but
as i can read some already have a vm with FreeBSD.

If i should provide more info, just tell. 
Maybe i should add some PR's?

thanks in advance!
