[Mono-list] configure script mono 2.4

[WrinkledCheese]

Hey everyone,

This is probably in thw wrong spot but it's the best fit I could find for my
specific issue.

My distribution, Slackware 12.2, only has mono 1.9 available.  There are
features new to 2.4 that are required for me to even bother with it at this
time.  The errors I'm receiving boil down to '`' (~ key without shift) and
parenthesis around commands.  IE for ac_var in `(set) 2>&1 | sed -n
's/^\([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*\)=.*/\1/p'`; d
o
If I change this line to:
for ac_var in $(set 2>&1 | sed -n 's/^\([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*\)=.*/\1/p');
d
o
the configure script runs and gets just as far except if calls out another
line with a similar syntax.  Doing the same change causes the same error to
be produced for that line.  There are hundreds of these and I don't want to
waste my time if this isn't going to work.  From what I gather a command
surrounded by `s and a command surrounded with $() has the same effect.  If
I do this to the entire file will I be able to at least move on to
completing the configuration of the script?

Is there some other way to get mono 2.4 to compile for Slackware 12.2?  I'm
going to give 1.9 a shot but I don't think it's going to be suitable for
what I need.
