[Mono-list] compiler status on linux

[Paolo Molaro]

So, many of the bits needed to make the compiler working on linux
are starting to fit together: mcs can compile some simple programs
(about 12 in mono/mono/tests compiled just now), though not all
generate correct code, yet.
You'll need the latest mono from cvs as well as the latest corlib.
You'll also need to run the compiler with the interpreter.

I use the included patch to mcs to add /usr/local/lib to the search path
for the compiler and avoid the GetFiles() call that is still
unimplemented in corlib (the other changes are to get stack traces in
the interp, instead of the user-friendly error messages:
who says that usability isn't debugging backtraces? :-).

Have fun!
