the current rc1 release has exacvtly two issues, with respect to mono.
one is a trivial reordering in the config file, to bring the runtime
requirements in the "correct" order, the other is a compiler issue (i
assume), which can be resolved by a trivial patch. I might be able to
provide a mono 1.1.x compiled RPM package, if there's interest in this.
I'm not a great fan of NAnt (got my fingers burned with Ant much to
often), but it's the most cross platform thing. cygwin support for
windows to get make running is more of a pain than to apply the two
patches to NAnt, i think. And with carefuyl written NAnt templates
nearly all of autoconf/automake/make can be implemented.
