[Mono-list] Problems on FreeBSD with Beta 1

[Scott Muc]

this is my progress so far...

mono - May 15th code snapshot
FreeBSD 4.9
mono/mini/abcremoval.h taken from CVS since the snapshot was missing
this file.


Here's how I've tried to build mono:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local
gmake
gmake install
...
/bin/sh ../../mkinstalldirs /usr/local/lib
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 mscorlib.dll /usr/local/lib/mscorlib.dll
MONO_PATH=. ../../mono/mini/mono --config ../../data/config
./../gacutil.exe /i ./Accessibility.dll /f /package 1.0 /root
/usr/local/lib
Package exported to: /usr/local/lib/mono/1.0
Accessibility installed into the gac (/usr/local/lib/mono/gac/)

Then it just hangs. I've mapped libc to libc.so.4 in the data/config
file. I would love to assist in finding out why this hangs, but I'm not
familiar with what needs to be done.
