[Mono-dev] Problems building Mono 2.10.8 on 64-bit SmartOS (Solaris)

[Scott Lowe]

Hello chaps,

A short update on this issue:

Whist the a permanent fix has not been identified, Autif Khan has given me a great deal of off-list help and he has suggested a workaround that results in the completion of my Mono build.

This is the workaround:

Edit the mono/util/mono-math.h - delete lines 7, 8, 9 and 18

So that it will look like:


2 #ifndef __MONO_SIGNBIT_H__
3 #define __MONO_SIGNBIT_H__
4
5 #include <math.h>
6
10 #define mono_signbit(x) (sizeof (x) == sizeof (float) ?
mono_signbit_float (x) : mono_signbit_double (x))
11
12 int
13 mono_signbit_double (double x);
14
15 int
16 mono_signbit_float (float x);
17
20 #endif



I will see if I can get support for this signbit issue from the Joyent SmartOS or IllumOS community, since they obviously have a lot of experience in getting source code to compile on these systems. Hopefully this will lead to a suggested in Mono source.

I'm not a C programmer, so Autif's patient help was invaluable. Thanks Autif!
