[Mono-list] boehm garbage collector sources

[Piers Haken]

I used the 6.0 version as well, although I got it from Boehm's site.

One file (mark.c) didn't compile correctly - it complained about a
'__try' block not being recognized. It seems like that try block is only
meant to handle some case on win98, so I just commented out the
offenting __try and __except clauses that are within a '#ifdef MSWIN32'
(lines 267-377 & 398-413) after that './configure && make && make
install' worked fine.

I'm not sure if it's necessary, but you may want to run mono's
'configure' script with the '--with-gc=boehm' flag to enable it. That's
what I've been doing.

Here's the build environment that I use to configure/build mono:
	export CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I/usr/local/include"
	export LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -I/usr/local/lib"
	export CC="gcc -mno-cygwin"

I'm not sure how up to date it is but it is at :

   http://go-mono.com/archive/gc6.0.tar.gz

It has a date of 19 March so it is quite new.

I had a problem when I installed it on linux - it didn't copy the
include files so I had to do a :

   mkdir /usr/local/include/gc
   cp include/*.h /usr/local/include/gc

Although I understand that mono-build.sh takes care of this.
