[Mono-list] Problems compiling Mono from CVS with ICU

[George Kodinov]

Hi,

I have had problems in the last serveral days compiling mcs from the CVS 
on my RH9 box. It compiles fine with the monocharge .tar.gz (last tried 
2003-12-22 with monocharge-20031221), but when I try to actually use the 
so produced mscorlib.dll (by invoking the mcs) I get :

Corlib not in sync with this runtime: expected corlib version 5, found -1.

I've grepped the mcs sources for "mono_corlib_version" (witch is what 
the mono_get_corlib_version () is searching for in System.Environment 
class), but I can't seem to find in anywhere. I've experimentally 
disabled the check in mono_check_corlib_version (), but I've started 
getting :

Unhandled Exception: System.MissingMethodException: A missing method 
exception has occurred.

with the new mscorlib.dll.

What's the correct way of compiling the two (given one checks them out 
both today) ? or am I doing something wrong in updating the following way :
1. cd mono; cvs update
2. cd mono; make clean ; make ; make install
3. cd mcs ; cvs update ; make clean ; make ; make install
