[Mono-list] Compiling mono from source on mac

[Edmund Kapusniak]

Hello again,

Okay so now I am trying to compile mono from source on my mac.  I followed the
instructions to fork on github and clone both mono and libgdiplus.

I compiled libgdiplus by doing:


ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/X11/share/aclocal" ./autogen.sh --prefix=$MONO_PREFIX
make
make install


and mono with:


./autogen.sh --prefix=$MONO_PREFIX --with-glib=embedded --enable-nls=no
make
make install


After this I appear to get a working mono in $MONO_PREFIX.  However, when I
try and run a Windows Forms application I get a DllNotFoundException for
gdiplus.dll.

libgdiplus.dylib appears to install correctly into $MONO_PREFIX/lib.

I did get some warnings during the libgdiplus build which read like:


ld: warning: ignoring file /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/2.10.6/lib/libglib-2.0.dylib, file was built for unsupported file format which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64)


I don't know if these are normal.

Adding $MONO_PREFIX/lib to DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH before running mono makes no
difference.

otool -L libgdiplus.dylib reads:


libgdiplus.dylib:
	/Users/edmundkapusniak/Documents/mono/mono-build/lib/libgdiplus.0.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 125.2.11)


Which seems kind of sparse, especially when compared to the output when running
tool on the libgdiplus from my mono 2.10.6 installation, which lists a few dozen
dependencies.  This makes me think that perhaps libgdiplus did not compile
correctly - but there were no errors during the make process.

Can anyone help?
