There are a couple of different ways to build mono [see the mono web site]. We have chosen the simplest approach.
Experience has taught us that there cannot be any pre-existing mono components "visible" while building mono compiler and class libraries. mono-1.1.9.1 does not[yet] build on my system, a PPC running YDL-4.0.1. A bug report has been filed with the mono project. Mono was added to GARNOME in order to build a few of mono-based applications. Mono is not an integral part of the GNOME desktop. -Joseph =========================================================================== On Tue, 2005-10-04 at 07:14, Frederic Howell wrote: > On Sun, 2005-02-10 at 23:25 -0400, Joseph E.
