[Mono-dev] Compiling Mono v2.4 RC2 (Solaris 10 SPARCv9)

[Jonathan Soft]

I've also been trying to compile mono v2.4 on Solaris 10 SPARC and have run
into the trouble exactly as you describe. By running the make process with
'MONO_LOG_LEVEL=debug' I've concluded that the build process hangs as soon
as the local 2.4 mono is invoked to compile runtime .cs source files (<build
root>/mono/mini/mono --config <build root>/runtime/etc/mono/config
.//class/lib/monolite/mcs.exe etc.). By adding Mono v2.0.1 bin directory to
the path we just postpone this "hanging" from the first attempt to use the
local mono applied to  'build/deps/basic-profile-check.exe' to a later
attempt applied to System.Xml.

I poked arround at internal Makefiles, and by getting gmake to use v2.0.1
mono instead of local 2.4 mono,  I was able to get passed System.Xml
compilation, however I got stuck at mcs directory compilation, where no
makefile manipulation I did could get gmake to use the preinstalled mono. As
soon as gmake invokes [build root>/mono/mini/mono --config <build
root>/runtime/etc/mono/config .//class/lib/monolite/mcs.exe] we're stuck.

By running truss on the hanging process it would seem that it is really
caught up in a never-ending loop, but I have no idea why.

No more ideas at this point, but I'll post if I make any progress.
