[MonoDevelop] bug in monodevelop make?

[Kenneth D Weinert]

What's happened here is that there is a variable in the makefile that
doesn't have a value so when it's expanded, it expands to nothing.

Take a look in the makefile in /home/simi/app/monodevelop/po and look
for the line that starts with  

file=`echo cs|

and you'll see between the last "&&" and the -o a variable (it start
with a '$' character (like $CC). That variable is the one that's not
getting assigned to.

It does imply that a) you don't have everything installed that you need;
and b) that either you didn't run the ./configure step properly or the
configure script doesn't catch a missing tool.

Hope this helps.
