[Mono-list] gtk-sharp CVS build failing

[Chris Turchin]

Hi Fawad,

thanks for the tip (off the list) on how to solve this. if anyone else is having
this problem (and I just saw on IRC that others are) then try this suggestion
from fawad:

  When doing the compilation, you need to pass the option
'--optimize=loop' to mono. I had to go into the Makefile for each
assembly in gtk-sharp, change the RUNTIME variable from
<MY_PATH_TO_MONO>/bin/mono to  <MY_PATH_TO_MONO>/bin/mono
--optimize=loop.

This is a known mono bug and should be fixed soon.


regards,
--chris
