naïve update to 2.6.3

[ryandesign@…]

Attached is a naïve update to 2.6.3 which installs for me on Snow Leopard. I don't know if it works, though, and I don't know if anything in the darwin 9 section is still accurate or needs to be updated or deleted.

I don't have a 32bit installation and mono does not work on x64, so I cannot check if this works -- for 64 bit your patch works as well* as the previous version, so I commited it! (r66159)

*) not at all ;)

new portfile to help build mono 2.6.3

[brennan@…]

Hi, I'm using OSX 10.5.8 on an intel core duo imac.

My first try with building the simple update didn't work due to patchfile errors. I've fixed the Portfile and patchfiles, and it gets past the patching stage, but it still won't build due to errors in darwin_stop_world.c (see below). I googled and found some people compiling mono 2.6 with fink are having a similar problem. I'm going to file a ticket with mono project, but in the mean time, port should probably be reverted, at least for intel users. Please keep the attachments as a reference in the event mono source is fixed.

• Portfile
• patch-configure.diff
• patch-libgc-darwin_stop_world.c.diff

Here's the first of several similar errors:

darwin_stop_world.c: In function 'GC_push_all_stacks':
darwin_stop_world.c:117: error: 'i386_thread_state_t' has no member named '__esp'

...

here's a link to the thread on fink-users for anyone who may need as a reference on the error: ​http://www.mail-archive.com/fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg32024.html

here's a link to the mono project ticket I submitted concerning build errors. ​https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=594544

The fink-users thread doesn't seem relevant, and the upstream bug report was closed as invalid. However, some build fixes were committed to the mono port in r67372, r67373 and r67374, and I updated the port to 2.6.4 in r67634. Do you still see the problem now after a selfupdate?

Closing due to lack of further information.
