[MonoDevelop] bulding a F# program

[Vasili I. Galchin]

Piotr,

    In /usr/bin, I already have fsc:

#!/bin/sh
exec /home/vasili/bin/mono $MONO_OPTIONS /usr/lib/mono/2.0/fsc.exe "$@"

FSharpBindingCompilerManager.cs:Compile returns "/usr/bin/fsc" when
GetCompilerName is called ... so all is cool ... it is when
FSharpBindingCompilerManager:DoCompilation calls:

 LoggingService.LogInfo("KICK OFF FSC!!");  // WNH

                        MonoDevelop.Core.Execution.ProcessWrapper pw =
Runtime.ProcessService.StartProcess (pinfo, outwr, errwr, null);
LoggingService.LogInfo("Kicked off!");  // WNH
                        pw.WaitForOutput();
LoggingService.LogInfo("after wait!");  // WNH


Runtime.ProcessService.StartProcess that MonoDevelop gets hung. I do
get the "Kicked off!" log message BUT not the "after wait" log
message. "fsc" includes mono's --verbose. I get this verbose output
when I run "fsc" from the Linux shell but not from MonoDevelop.

Thanks for suggestions and help!

Vasili
