[Mono-list] Problems compiling mono

[Andreas Sliwka]

Hi,
  I have a strange problem when I try to compile mono from scratch.

  I do not have a working mono on this particular machine (I could
install one, but I want to compile it myself), so I checked out all
modules from the CVS. 

  When I try to compile the mono module the ./configure stops with the
error messages:
[...]
checking gc.h usability... no
checking gc.h presence... no
checking for gc.h... no
checking gc/gc.h usability... no
checking gc/gc.h presence... no
checking for gc/gc.h... no
checking for GC_malloc in -lgc... no
configure: error: "GC requested but libgc not found! Install libgc or
run configure with --with-gc=none."

  Ok, so I need libgc. That's fine as one of the other modules I just
checked out is called libgc, so I change into that directory, start
./configure and again it fails:
[...]
configure: error: This module is now part of `mono' and can't be built
as a stand-alone module any longer.

 So I have a module 'mono' that depends on the module 'libgc' which
refuses to get configures as it's now a part of 'mono' ?

  Help!
