mono is currently at 2.4, is this still an issue?

[jean-philippe.humbert@…]

I have tried again and I have the same Problem With Macports 1.7.1:

10.4 or 10.5? And I'm guessing PowerPC? Can you rerun with debug enabled and attach the output:

sudo port -d install mono  2>&1 | tee ~/Desktop/mono_debug.txt

[jean-philippe.humbert@…]

I have attached the log file. I have tested on a IMAC G5 with Leopard

i also added an attechment. mono 2.4_0 under os-x 10.5 on ppc.

after some private re-investigation of this error and the headers to consider, i went - taking for granted the portfile made use of all patchfiles - to double-check that patch-mono-mini-mini-ppc.h.diff did good changes and when i had seen that it did
i had to do the changes manually - had, considering that i went to check the portfile not until the port compiled successfully with these changes
it turns out the patch-mono-mini-mini-ppc.h.diff was never appended to 'patchfiles'

attaching an updated portfile with patch-mono-mini-mini-ppc.h.diff added after patch-mono-mini-mini-x86.h.diff under the 'platform darwin 9' block as in:

platform darwin 9 {
    configure.cflags-append    -D_NONSTD_SOURCE
    configure.cxxflags-append    -D_NONSTD_SOURCE
    patchfiles-append \
        patch-interp.h.diff \
        patch-sys-mman.c.diff \
        patch-mono-mini-mini-x86.h.diff \
        patch-mono-mini-mini-ppc.h.diff \
        patch-libgc-darwin_stop_world.c.diff
}

(since i complied mine with manual changes to the source this portfile could be considered untested)

else just a lot of warnings; among common C inconsistencies (and even more so in the c#sharp compiling) this, that seemed odd to me, but what do i know:

 ** Warning: System.dll built without parts that depend on: System.Xml.dll

btw i wanted to install this because i couldn't find mdb in mono's precomiled os-x download and calling mono_object_describe in gdb produces:

debug-helpers.c: No such file or directory.

but now i cant find mdb in this port either, gdb /opt/local/bin/mono produces a lot of warnings about not finding files in /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_mono/work/mono-2.4.2.3/mono/mini and p mono_debug_print_vars produces

 Unable to call function "mono_debug_print_vars" at 0x5aed0: no return type information available

*sigh*

pardon my grammar/vocabulary - im a little tired (plus i'm an occasionally quirky swede)

[ryandesign@…]

Do you still see the problem with mono 2.6.3?

[jean-philippe.humbert@…]

Sorry I can´t test it anymore because I only have Intel-Macs now.

[ryandesign@…]

Is this still a problem with mono @2.10.6?

[raphael@…]

Replying to ryandesign@…:

Is this still a problem with mono @2.10.6?

Yes, I still have the same problem with mono @2.10.6 on Mac OS X 10.5.8 ppc.
