[Mono-dev] make --disable-mcs-build fails

I run into this problem too when targeting the ARM platform with -disable-mcs-build: the managed assemblies are built on a speedy x86_64 machine rather than the ARM handheld. I figured it was just some problem with ARM/Android builds that I looked further into. Anyways, your build is actually complete at that point, as "docs" is the last thing that is built in the list of targets in the Makefile. (I actually usually just remove the docs part from the Makefile altogether to suppress that error)

I'm trying to build mono, but without building mcs.  This is mainly to
support the debian packaging.  However, it fails when it tries to build
the mono docs as it needs mscorlib.dll.  Can I build mono without
building the docs as well?  Any other thoughts appreciated.

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-mcs-build

make EXTERNAL_MCS=false EXTERNAL_RUNTIME=false

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/cambell/src/mono-2.4/docs'
cd . && make -f docs.make topdir=../mcs convert.exe

The assembly mscorlib.dll was not found or could not be loaded.
It should have been installed in the
`/usr/local/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll' directory.
