R: mono problem

[Marco Cane]

hi Cliff, thanks for your answer; I tried to build mono 1.9.1,
completely outside OE, downloading source from mono-project. Since I'm
using a x86 platform, I thought I could transfer files under "install"
directory on my device to try mono, but also in this case, system loops
forever.
I will try with mono 2, but I think there are some problems on some
libraries. Here is my base task (based on task-boot.bb), I'm using
distro angstrom-2007.1.

RDEPENDS_alopex-console-task = "\
    kernel \
    base-files \
    base-passwd \
    udev-utils \
    libstdc++ \
    busybox \
    initscripts \
    ${@base_contains("MACHINE_FEATURES", "keyboard", "keymaps", "", d)}
\
    modutils-initscripts \
    netbase \
    update-alternatives \
    ${DISTRO_DEV_MANAGER} \
    ${DISTRO_INIT_MANAGER} \
    ${DISTRO_LOGIN_MANAGER} \
    ${MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RDEPENDS} \
    mono \
	mono-runtime \
	mono-jit \
	mono-gac \
	libmono-corlib1.0-cil \	
    "

Thanks again

p.s. when you say "open a dev shell" you are meaning I should complete
the build outside OE environment, launching make from
OE/tmp/work.../mono-x.y.z, right?

I'm not sure what might be wrong here.  I've used mono built with OE on
ARM systems, but not x86.  I'm planning to add Mono 2.0 to OE in the
next week or so, so you might want to try that.  Alternatively, you can
1.9.1 version in OE.  Set:

PREFERRED_VERSION_mono-native = "1.9.1"
PREFERRED_VERSION_mono-mcs-intermediate = "1.9.1"
PREFERRED_VERSION_mono = "1.9.1"

There is a small build problem with mono-native.  If you run into it,
open a dev shell, type make, and then continue the build.

Cliff
