[Mono-list] Compiling on Mono on OS X

[Matthieu Cormier]

After some time off I am trying to compile mono on OS X again.
I have 0.22 installed on my machine and am trying to compile the latest
sources from CVS.

I uninstalled glib2 and reinstalled with darwinPorts (similar to fink).
This eliminated the following glib error when running Mono 0.22
--------------------------------------
GLib: Cannot convert message: Conversion from character set 'UTF-8' to
'en_US' is not supported
---------------------------------------

I then modified autogen.sh to point to glibtool instead of libtool
and added the ACLOCAL_FLAGS in autgen.sh.  Thank you Paolo for the
pointers.

currently doing a make crashes on mini.  I think I'm really close now. I
believe I read somewhere that mini is the JIT compilere and not supported
on Macs.  Should I be passing a parameter to make?

A more detailed install log follows below.

September 4th Trying to install again
-------------------------------------

sudo make uninstall  [glib 2.0]
installed darwinPorts
sudo port install glib2

----This is a slight hack but I don't feel like recompiling my working
mono 0.22 version ----

sudo ln -s /opt/local/lib/libgmodule-2.0.0.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libgmodule-2.0.0.dylib
sudo ln -s /opt/local/lib/libglib-2.0.0.dylib
/usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.0.dylib

---------- end of hack --------------------------------

try mcs hello.cs and see if it compiles

	mcs compiles and the old GLib error message no longer appears

	OLD GLib messge

		GLib: Cannot convert message: Conversion from character
set 'UTF-8' to
		'en_US' is not supported

add "alias='/usr/bin/glibtool' " to autogen.sh

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local

Got the following error
--------------------------------------
Package glib-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glib-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'glib-2.0' found

--------------------------------------------------------------------------


Added
	ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /opt/local/share/aclocal"
right before call to aclocal in autogen.sh

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local
make clean
make

still getting errors during compile of mini
