[Mono-dev] Still seeking contractor to adding Tizen support to Mono

[Sergey Zhukov]

As Alex mentioned before, there is no need to change configure.ac, mono
can be compiled without the change. But to have a 'true' mono on Tizen
it would be better to create a package from the latest stable version of
mono and include it to the official Tizen repo. Otherwise even
developers have the issues (mostly with setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH) when
compile mono.

Here's the output of the 'cd mcs && make run-test' command. On my ubuntu
system, I've got only one error (which are not in these). But on Ubuntu
I have more older version of mono, so these can be new issues.     


Test Case Failures:
1) MonoTests.System.Collections.Generic.ListTest.FindAllSmallTest :
Expected: 80
  But was:  55
...

2)
MonoTests.System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiterTest.CompletionOnDifferentCustomSynchronizationContext :   String lengths are both 3. Strings differ at index 1.
  Expected: "132"
  But was:  "123"
  ------------^

....
3)
MonoTests.System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiterTest.CustomScheduler :   #3a
  Expected: 2
  But was:  1

4)
MonoTests.System.Threading.Tasks.TaskTests.TaskContinuationChainLeak :
Expected: False
