[Mono-list] Thanks! [Re: MONO_PATH or config options for System.ConsoleKeyInfo on local compile]

[Holger Blasum]

Dear Andreas, Jonathan,

thanks for holding hands!

Wrap-up:
* to get that particular application running it was enough
to follow Andreas' advice to remove "preview" from --enable-minimal
("preview" had just sounded so much like an optional user-friendliness
feature ...). Of course doing the full install presumably also 
would have solved that problem too.
* indeed "make CFLAGS=-Os" as Jonathan pointed out (typo in my
original post)
* with my setup, I ran into two errors when compiling MsPrjHelper.cs,
line 554 "Constant value `1.1' cannot be converted to a `decimal' (use
`unchecked' syntax to override)" and line 621 (similar) that were fixed 
by changing "1.1" to "1.1M" and "1" to "1M".
* size of interim buildtree (including source) with "preview" not 
disabled was now 271MB and thus slightly above the 256MB I would have 
had on the shared host; fortunately a compile on another spare machine
(for the record: approx 5hr on 700 bogomips/64 MB ram i386) could be 
copied in smoothly; install size is 73MB though, thereof 56MB in 
lib/mono/gac. (One feels tempted to throw out stuff there some day
once we better understand the sample application ...).
* ConsoleKeyInfo now left greppable traces in a lot of build files 
and in lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll (and not just some .mdb) in the install. 
* after deployment of the new compile messing with MONO_PATH is indeed 
not needed :-)

Thanks and cheers,
