I have been fighting many of the same battles. I know of at least two developers attempting to get mono up on darwin. All have been met with challenges. What is frustrating is the lack of public information.
I am **so** ready to start working on the darwin port, but I am unsure where to start. Given the fact that my available time is limited (as with everyone here), I don't want to waste time repeating the same learning curve that someone else struggled with. I really do think that there needs to be a clean, unambiguous and *current* FAQ for getting mono up and running on darwin & os/x. That way, folks that wish to contribute will be able to minimize pain! I would gladly volunteer to piece together the relevant information. But where is it? -----Original Message----- From: Brian og Louise [mailto:brianlouise@;mail.dk] Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 10:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Mono-list] glib2, configure and Mac OS X Hello all Since there is a certain lack of instructions on getting mono running on Mac OS X, I thougt I would throw my self at the task and see how far I got. First of I downloaded the 0.16 version of the distribution, and noted that it required glib version 2, which I then downloaded from the GTK website. This again required pkgconfig (using version 0.14.0), which fortunatly is part of fink for OS X. So after downloading and installing fink I went to the task of trying to compile glib2. This did not go so well ... as in it failed. To make a long story short it missed the library "libiconv" and the header files "libintl.h" and "iconv.h". Since I am not so well known around the gnu auto tools and especially in combination with Mac OS X, I went about it in the following way: Since all the above mentioned files is part of fink I just made symbolic links from them to /usr/lib and /usr/include, where I guessed configure would look. This is done as follows: (pwd == /usr/lib/) sudo ln -s /sw/lib/libiconv.2.0.4.dylib libiconv.dylib (pwd == /usr/include/) sudo ln -s /sw/include/libintl.h libintl.h sudo ln -s /sw/include/iconv.h This is how far I have come at this point in time, since now the make process is complaining! But if anybody want to have a go at getting mono up and running on OS X, this is a start, and hopefully somebody on this list can tell me if this is the right direction or not.
