[Mono-list] build of mono 1.1.7 & 1.1.8.2 fails on Solaris: failure to compile mcs

Greetings,


I tried to mail this in June and the request never appeared on the list. I
have since tried to build mono 1.1.8.2 and the build fails in exactly the
same place.

The build fails because make fails to build mcs. The failure appears to be
in the scripts and configuration.

I would greatly appreciate some insights.

Subject: mono 1.1.7 build on Solaris fails


Greetings,

Tying to build mono 1.1.7 on Sun Sparc Solaris 2.6.
uname -m = sun4m
uname -r = 5.6
uname -s = SunOS

Using
gcc: 		3.4.0
gmake: 	GNU Make 3.80


The build fails when trying to make the mcs compiler.
I have added lines of +++++ before and after the point of failure below. I
alos debugged the process further and it seems that the build is guaranteed
to fail because a make does not have arule for making the target:
./build/deps/basic-profile-check.out.

Is this problem due to the Solaris platform or do most people actually end
up using the pre-compiled binaries?

Sincerely,

Gerard Tromp

OK. So we check out what is happening with the line:
------------------------------------------------
gmake -s ./build/deps/basic-profile-check.out || ok=false;

gmake ./build/deps/basic-profile-check.out
gmake: *** No rule to make target `build/deps/basic-profile-check.out'.
Stop.

Therefore, the build of mcs is guaranteed to fail on Solaris.
