I learned from Curt Arnold that there have been problems building NAnt on
the gump machine.
On unix, NAnt uses pkg-config to get information on the installed mono
package.
We did this in order to support multiple versions of Mono on a given
machine. Looking back, it might have been enough to get the path from the
mono shell script located in the PATH environment variable and leave it up
to users to modify the PATH accordingly when they want to target a different
version of Mono.
For people not familiar with Mono: a single version of Mono contains a
single runtime but class libraries for multiple versions of .NET (in Mono
these are referred to as profiles). Even if you do not modify the PATH
environment variable, NAnt will still support targeting multiple versions
.NET.
When we decided to use pkg-config to retrieve info on the mono package, the
actual packaging of Mono was not yet clear and we assumed that they'd ship a
separate package for each .NET version (including both a runtime and the
class libraries).
So far for the background information.
Curt sent me the build log of one of the NAnt build failure:
<snip>
The current runtime framework 'mono-2.0' is not correctly configured
in the NAnt configuration file.
Framework directory '/usr/lib/pkgconfig/../../lib/mono/1.0' does not exist.
</snip>
Would it possible to send me the output of the following commands on the
gump machine:
$ pkg-config --modversion mono
$ pkg-config --variable=prefix mono
$ pkg-config --variable=libdir mono
$ which mono
Can you also verify whether the following files/directories exist:
$prefix/bin/mono
$prefix/lib/mono/1.0 <= this probably won't exist
Our framework support is configured using NAnt projects in the NAnt
configuration file (NAnt.exe.config), and by reviewing it I noticed that we
do not use the value of the libdir variable, but instead assume that its
$prefix/lib. This is ofcourse not correct.
I'll stay on this until it's working.
