Alex, I understand that most configure options are considered 'advanced' and one should not expect them to even work. However I am simply trying to compile mono with --with-tls=pthread (that seems like a widely spread option on non-gcc based system). Is that considered a supported option ? If so

(sorry, hit send too early...) FYI --with-gc=sgen doesn't make sense since the --with-gc option only controls the Boehm GC (see https://github.com/mono/mono#configuration-options). - Alex 2016-04-04 16:03 GMT+02:00 Alexander Köplinger < alexander.koeplin...@xamarin.com>: > FYI --with-gc=sgen

As a side note, I can build mono on SMP PowerPC using an easy hack: export MONO_GC_PARAMS=nursery-size=1073741824 ./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/blah --with-gc=sgen --disable-boehm --enable-checked-build=all --disable-nls --with-sgen=yes make V=1 PROFILE=basic -M

Hi all, Thanks for the explanation for '-d', that was obvious :) I can compile mono (make V=1 PROFILE=basic) on PowerPC system using: ./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/blah --disable-parallel-mark --with-gc=none --enable-checked-build=all --disable-nls --with-sgen=no So clearly there is something

ASYNC is just a #ifdef symbol which gets defined when the -d option is passed to the compiler (basic.exe in this case, which is basically the mcs C# compiler). You would need to look into the .cs files mentioned in System.Xml.dll.sources to find out which pieces of the code light up when that

Dear all, I am currently trying to resurrect Mono debian package on PowerPC (32bits BE). I have two questions: - Is there a released version I should consider to start with if I want to make mono work son PowerPC again ? - I see some big changes here at:
