[Mono-list] Zero-sized DLLs (corlib, System.* etc.)

[Alexandros Karypidis]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to compile mono using anonymous CVS access.  I executed 
"mono-build.sh" and used anonymouse CVS to checkout the source tree. 
 Everything compiles ok with no error messages.  When I try to run mcs 
however I get:

=======================================================
karypid@grads-d5-pc-2:~/Code/Mono/install/bin> ./mcs
The assembly corlib.dll was not found or could not be loaded.
It should have been installed in the 
`/laptop-home/Code/Mono/install/lib' directory.
=======================================================

Obviously, it's because:

=======================================================
karypid@grads-d5-pc-2:~/Code/Mono/install/bin> ls -l 
~/Code/Mono/install/lib/*.dll
-rw-r--r--    1 karypid  users           0 May 29 22:49

/laptop-home/Code/Mono/install/lib/corlib.dll
=======================================================

Am I supposed to obtain these from somewhere else? (e.g. msdn)
