There are a few things you can do if you don't know how to fix a boostrap issue yourself: 1) use the snapshots: they contain up to date binaries 2) use the script that someone recently posted to mono-list that tries to build the runtime and classes a few times in possibly different orders 3) wait for a release 4) ask someone to send you an updated binary 5) do the build in the order documented in the FAQ Take your pick. > I've tried DotGNU and found that CVS compiled out of the box , can I There's a simple reason for that: since DotGNU can't yet bootstrap itself, it uses libraries precompiled with csc on MS windows, so it doesn't actually compile the core classes. > use that to compile mcs Or is there a vendor conflict there as well ? There is no vendor conflict: if their compiler can compile the C# code used in our source, you can use it just fine (but, AFAIK there are still several missing features in it that prevent that). lupus -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] debian/rules [EMAIL PROTECTED] Monkeys do it better _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
