[Mono-dev] problem building mono, can't get monolite to work

[pablosantosluac at terra.es]

Hi there,


I've been bothering Zoltan, Geoff and Mark all they trying to get my 
Solaris x86 to build latest mono correctly. But I'm stopped now and 
maybe someone can help.

First mistake I had is I was using packages from sunfreeware instead of 
blastwave. Getting rid of the first ones (gcc, automake, autogen, 
libtool, glib, glib2) and using the ones from blastwave seems to be much 
better.

Well, I've configured, run make, and I get to the point where I need 
monolite. I did make get-monolite-latest and run make again.

Here's my problem now:

  Making all in runtime

As Geoff pointed out: it appears the runtime is crashing according to:

  GC Warning: Large stack limit(133464064): only scanning 8 MB
  gmake[8]: *** [build/deps/basic-profile-check.exe] Error 1

He asked to run the .exe independently with gdb to find out what the 
problem is...

But I can't find this basic-profile-check.exe anywhere...


I guess I'm doing something prettry wrong, but any help would be 
appreciated.
