Hello, - There was a post about building the framework from a custom build, but it appears that the framework build pull its data from the Novell servers (see http://www.mail-archive.com/mono-devel-l...@lists.ximian.com/msg21864.html). - To build on Snow Leopard, you have to pass some additional CFLAGS (see http://www.mail-archive.com/mono-devel-l...@lists.ximian.com/msg22096.html). - Have you test your application on Snow Leopard without making a bundle ? Before you spend time into making a full distribution, you should test if the fix works for your app in managed mode. - I am starting to take a look at the framework build process in order to provide an alternative framework (stripped of course) while the Mono team review the issue. I will post my progress on the list.
