It would be good to get those integrated.Yes, I did shortly after my post to the list, but I have not heard any response.Since then I have run into some issues with Mono v2.10 itself and my company's existing (proprietary) code base. It is an odd issue around events and a complex class hierarchy that I had encountered in the past with Mono v2.4 (but not v2.2). I traced it down to a single change in Mono and backed out that change for the previous product (an embedded server). I did report it to the Mono list at that time, but there was no simple test case I could share. Anyway, I did a quick test with Mono v3.2 (from their web site on OS X) and the issues were no longer present. Hence, for the new product that I plan to use Yocto to develop, I am going to use Mono v3.2. Of course the current Mono layer has a lot more than we need (which is only the runtime and corelib, no X, xsp, etc...) but only includes support through v2.11. I am currently considering whether updating the existing meta-mono layer for v3.2 or just writing a quick recipe for just want we need from Mono. This is complicated by a quick attempt to build the existing Mono layer for ARM failing. The failure was on the ARM objcopy not knowing what to do with mcs.exe.so as it is .NET assembly wrapped as an i386 shared object. This was during the generation of the debug package files, so looks like that process needs to be tweaked to understand this special case. Hi Ryan - I've built Mono out of meta-mono for a couple of different targets in the past and am revisiting now for a mesh edge gateway we're working on here. I see that Mono no longer seems to be building against Yocto head / qemux86 (for me at least) and am considering looking at a recipe to build the current release of Mono whilst I dig into why this is. I wondered if you'd made any progress with this at all in the past few weeks? Thanks / Best Regards, Alex I would welcome any advice on how to proceed with Mono v3.2 recipes and for building on ARM. Thanks! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Ryan Kirkpatrick | Boulder, CO | rkirkpat.net | twitter.com/rkirkpatnet | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto --
