... hey, if this isn't the appropriate place for an experienced sysadmin who
has RTFM to ask probably ignorant questions, where do I do that?
You've came to the right list. Sorry, but we are in a hurry for a new release, and answering emails get a lower priority at these times...
To recap: I've followed the instructions in the beginner's HOWTO. I have the
"mono" source tree compiling ("/mono") out of CVS - however, that doesn't
appear to include the "mcs" source tree, which bombs out with the following
message:
Thomas:mcs$ make make[1]: Entering directory `/home/thomas/mono/mcs/build' make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/thomas/mono/mcs/build' make[1]: Entering directory `/home/thomas/mono/mcs/jay' make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/thomas/mono/mcs/jay' make[1]: Entering directory `/home/thomas/mono/mcs/mcs' csc.exe /nologo /optimize /debug+ /debug:full /target:exe /out:mcs.exe Assembl yInfo.cs anonymous.cs assign.cs attribute.cs driver.cs cs-tokenizer.cs cfold.cs class.cs codegen.cs const.cs constant.cs convert.cs decl.cs delegate.cs enum.cs ecore.cs expression.cs flowanalysis.cs genericparser.cs interface.cs iterators.c s literal.cs location.cs modifiers.cs namespace.cs parameter.cs pending.cs repor t.cs rootcontext.cs statement.cs support.cs typemanager.cs symbolwriter.cs tree. cs cs-parser.cs make[1]: *** [mcs.exe] Error 255 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/thomas/mono/mcs/mcs' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
As someone already said, the makefile should be using mcs if you are out of Windows. Even so in linux csc is aliased to call mcs.exe (what seems to be your case), but you need a MonoCharge tarball with a precompiled version of it to bootstrap (use mcs to compile mcs itself).
I always install the latest release version (now from Red Carpet as I'm using RH9), before trying to recompile the full trees, but sure it is still a somewhat messy procedure even for longtime monoers like me.
I really want to get this working so I can start hacking C#.
If you want to develop your own apps, I recomend to install mono packages instead of bothering with compiling CVS. We are in the verge of releasing 0.26, with everything that is in CVS just now.
Just don't give up, C# is cool, and Mono makes it a reality beyond Windows...
Best hacks,
