----------------------------------------
Summary: C# library does not build on Mono 4.0.2.5 or later
Key: THRIFT-3295
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3295
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Build Process, C# - Library
Reporter: Nobuaki Sukegawa
Mono C# compiler gmcs has been available as backward compatibility script for
years.

Starting with Mono version 2.11 a new unified compiler mcs is available. It
replaces all previous runtime specific compilers (gmcs, dmcs, smcs). They still
exist (as scripts only) to ease the migration path to mcs but we strongly
recommend to use mcs.

But Mono 4.0.2.5 and later no longer ships with it.

This makes it impossible to build Thrift C# library on modern Mono.
The patch does the following
* check mono version and availability of mcs executable
* if mono >= 2.11 and mcs is there, use mcs
* if not, use gmcs and nothing changes as before
