[Mono-dev] Mono 2.6.1, Moonlight 2.0, ARM5

[Rafael Teixeira]

AFAIK, Moonlight really wasn't configured to support other archs,
besides x86/x64.

Can't look into that just but I think that it really looks like that
some needed moonlight lib function isn't being built for your
environment, as perhaps it depends on some header file that may be
missing on ARM.

Please see the config.log to see what was turned down for your
environment, it is easier than trying to follow the chain of
dependencies in the autoconf files.

Go ahead: I would love to see Moonlight running on the Android and
some other hardware that sports ARM cpus.

Hope it helps,
