Re: [Mono-dev] Running autogen.sh from outside of source tree?

2014-05-21 Thread Miguel de Icaza
Well, Mono is not really well behaved when it comes to builds with srcdir != builddir. There is really no support for this for the managed code (all code under mono/mcs). On Wed, May 21, 2014 at 8:20 PM, Chris Morgan wrote: > Hmm. > > I don't see any mention of NOCONFIGURE=1 in README.md. > >

Hello, To build Mono with a different prefix, you need to use a tarball package, that has all of the bits that are not typically checked into git. That said, if you want to use git, you need to at least run this: NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh On the directory where you did your checkout, and then

Its to avoid having to use "autotools-broken" vs. "autotools" scripts when building mono in Yocto. So yeah, not a big difference and its fixable by using autotools-broken but then that means the mono build is somehow broken heh Chris On Wed, May 21, 2014 at 3:57 PM, Zoltan Varga wrote: > Hi

Hi, autogen.sh is designed to generate configure and Makefile.in files into the source tree, so they can be distributed. Generating them outside the source tree doesn't serve much purpose imho. Zoltan On Wed, May 21, 2014 at 9:54 PM, Chris Morgan wrote: > So I'm just trying

Hi Zoltan. No, I get that. The question is whether its possible to improve autogen.sh to support running out of tree by adding some more $srcdir entries, or whatever, at the appropriate locations. Chris On Wed, May 21, 2014 at 3:37 PM, Zoltan Varga wrote: > Hi, > > autogen.sh needs to be ru

Hi, autogen.sh needs to be run from the tree, its configure+make which can be run out-of-tree. Zoltan On Wed, May 21, 2014 at 9:32 PM, Chris Morgan wrote: > Hello. > > I'm trying to build mono under Yocto. Recently (so I've heard) there > were some changes such that the autotool

Hello. I'm trying to build mono under Yocto. Recently (so I've heard) there were some changes such that the autotools scripts are being run from outside of the source tree. I presume this is something like: cd mono mkdir monobuild cd monobuild ../autogen.sh [cmorgan@localhost monobuild]$ ../au

4.0 is 4 years old by now, so this makes sense. You might wish to make a heads up announcement to give distros some time to adapt (in the unlikely case some might wish to implement some sort of side-by-side installation for compatibility.) The Wine project may also be affected, since they are now
