[Mono-list] glib2, configure and Mac OS X

[Brian og Louise]

Hello all

Since there is a certain lack of instructions on getting mono running on Mac OS X, I thougt I would throw my self at the task and see how far I got.

First of I downloaded the 0.16 version of the distribution, and noted that it required glib version 2, which I then downloaded from the GTK website. This again required pkgconfig (using version 0.14.0), which fortunatly is part of fink for OS X. So after downloading and installing fink I went to the task of trying to compile glib2.

This did not go so well ... as in it failed. To make a long story short it missed the library "libiconv" and the header files "libintl.h" and "iconv.h".
Since I am not so well known around the gnu auto tools and especially in combination with Mac OS X, I went about it in the following way:

Since all the above mentioned files is part of fink I just made symbolic links from them to /usr/lib and /usr/include, where I guessed configure would look. This is done as follows:

(pwd == /usr/lib/)
sudo ln -s /sw/lib/libiconv.2.0.4.dylib libiconv.dylib

(pwd == /usr/include/)
sudo ln -s /sw/include/libintl.h libintl.h
sudo ln -s /sw/include/iconv.h

This is how far I have come at this point in time, since now the make process is complaining!
But if anybody want to have a go at getting mono up and running on OS X, this is a start, and hopefully somebody on this list can tell me if this is the right direction or not.

Regards Brian
