Ok I will give it a try ;). Well what release of mono you are using to
build from CVS? Even if it is the latest one (0.28) you could have
problems, in my experience after some time after a official release you
can't successfully bootstrap CVS so I recommend this steps:
Go to you mono directoy and run:
cvs -z3 update -Pd
make distclean && ./autogen --prefix=YOUR_PATH && make && make install
Then (from INSTALL.txt file in mcs module):
Occasionally, something in the compiler or runtime changes enough that
an existing installation cannot complete a full build from cvs. In this
case,
go to http://go-mono.com/daily and download a monocharge or monolite
tarball.
Unpack and copy the .dlls to $prefix/lib and .exes to $prefix/bin/.
Then
you should be able to complete the build normally (i.e. using make
fullbuild).
wget http://go-mono.com/daily/monolite-20031028.tar.gz (A
example, everyday there is a new tarball to download)
tar -zxvf monolite-20031028.tar.gz
cd monolite-20031028
cp *.exe /usr/local/bin/.
cp *.dll /usr/local/lib/.
Then go to your mcs directory and run:
cvs -z3 update -Pd
make clean && make
Finally return to mono directoy and run:
cd runtime
rm -rf *exe *dll (that is to delete the old dll and exe)
cd ..
make install
After this you should have a new and shiny mono::
For future upgrades the steps are easier:
cvs -z3 update -Pd mono mcs
cd mono && make distclean && ./autogen --prefix=YOUR_PATH && make
fullbuild
Some steps are in the paranoia size I know, but when building for the
first time from CVS is the best way to go in my opinion. If you still
have problems to build please post again.
