I'd really like to see dlr-languages in Ubuntu. The failure above is from the IronRuby sources. I just built ironruby yesterday from git with Mono 2.10.2, and worked fine for the regular config. Does Ubuntu need an official release to be able to include dlr-languages? Or can it be from current trunk? BTW, there is this little issue for v2Release, which I sent to the ironruby-core mailing list yesterday: """ When trying to build IronRuby for a v2Release under Mono 2.10.2, I'm getting a failure: % git clone https://github.com/IronLanguages/main.git IronLanguages % cd IronLanguages % xbuild Solutions/Ruby.sln /p:Configuration="v2Release" ... Builtins/RangeOps.cs(307,17): error CS0266: Cannot implicitly convert type `System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<IronRuby.Builtins.MutableString>' to `System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<object>'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?) Building for the regular configuration is fine. """ Which looks like an easy fix. Then there could be a common dlr-languages release for v2 and v4. (I also have a patch that makes dlr-languages build under Mono 2.6.7, which was a reason the iron languages couldn't be added earlier, as that was the version of Mono they were using). -Doug > Matthias _______________________________________________ Ironpython-users mailing list Ironpython-users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/ironpython-users
