I am trying to build Mono from CVS. I have cygwin working. I can build mcs just fine. I believe I have libgc installed correctly (installed by downloading gc6.2.tar.gz into /usr/src, expanding it, and doing ./configure; make; make install from /usr/src/gc6.2) but I don't know for sure as I am experiencing the following problem when running ./autogen.sh - prefix=/usr/local from my mono directory:
Checking gc.h usability... no Checking gc.h presence... no Checking for gc.h... no Checking gc/gc.h usability... no Checking gc/gc.h presence... no Checking for gc/gc.h... no Checking for GC_malloc in -lgc... no Error: "GC requested but libgc not found! Install libgc or run configure with -with-gc=none." I'm an experienced developer and Windows guy but have limited knowledge of Unix and cygwin so I know I am doing something stupid here. I checked the list archives but found nothing that helped me get past this issue. I'd really like to get this build process working so I can contribute effectively in the xml.schema area. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I ran into a similar problem with glib and got past it just fine. I followed more or less the same process (go get the archive, expand it, build it and install it) with the libgc without success. Here's the deal: if I can get this thing working I will document it so we have a repeatable process for morons like me :-). Note that I do have an installed copy of mono 0.29 on the Windows box (not under cygwin). I just want to build the latest as it contains some fixes for my schema issues.
