----------------------------------
Assignee: Jens Geyer
> 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
> Assignee: Jens Geyer
>
> Mono C# compiler gmcs has been available as backward compatibility script for
> years.
> http://www.mono-project.com/docs/about-mono/languages/csharp/
> {quote}
> 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.
> {quote}
> But Mono 4.0.2.5 and later no longer ships with it.
> https://github.com/mono/mono/commit/b304ec5e0e694ef7098e0fc3eba9dbc0162f4568
> 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
