Hi Ron,
>From the error it's clear that NAnt cannot start pkg-config.
Perhaps you should try to create a small test app that launches pkg-config
using the System.Diagnostics.Process class, to rule out a mono related bug.
If you have any problem creating this app, then just let me know.

Subject: Re: [NAnt-users] Problem with pkg-config finding mono
I'm on a different OS X computer now (my wife's iMac) and I downloaded Mono and
Monobjc and get the same error from Nant. I tried the small test build file in
this post:
http://www.mail-archive.com/nant-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg04071.html
That recommends a small test build file containing:
<project name="pkg-config-test">
<echo message="mono prefix: ${pkg-config::get-variable('mono', 'prefix')}" />
<echo message="exists mono: ${pkg-config::exists('mono')}" />
<echo message="modversion mono: ${pkg-config::get-mod-version('mono')}" />
</project>But get the same error. Both computers seem to see that mono is
there. --exists mono doesn't give an error. It's in the --list-all output,
etc. The mono version seems fine:
debora:bin Ron$ ./pkg-config --modversion mono
2.4
I tried running nant with --debug and it doesn't really tell me anything more.
I'm lost.
Thank you,
Ron

I'm having trouble with pkg-config when I run nant on the monobjc project's
package, but others have it working fine. The email below details what I've
done so far from a different mailing list. I really don't understand why
pkg-config says it can't find mono. When I run the command on its own with
--list-all it does list mono. I'm not sure how the --exists switch is to be
used, though. Just putting mono after it doesn't give me anything, but when I
run it with --debug it says the value of --print-errors is 0. I expect that's
good. When I use the --libs switch it gives me plenty of info. The mono.pc
file is in the
/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib/pkgconfig folder. Any
ideas about why it keeps failing on me with the error:
Expression: ${not pkg-config::exists('mono')}
Thank you,

Interestingly I can run and run the command
/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Commands/pkg-config --list-all
and mono is in the list it outputs. Man that's irritating...

I'm not completely sure what you mean by cleaning up my setup. The XCode
3.1 tools are installed and work fine for Objective-C projects. I need those
tools so uninstalling them isn't really something I want to do unless there's a
reason. nant seems to be installed correctly:
ron:~ ron$ nant -help
NAnt 0.86 (Build 0.86.2898.0; beta1; 12/8/2007)
ron:~ ron$ whereis nant

ron:~ ron$ ls -l /usr/bin/nant
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 48 Apr 10 15:11 /usr/bin/nant ->
/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Commands/nant
Still not sure why, but it's this pkg-config::exists function that's
failing to find mono. But I can run it fine from the command line and it's in
my path. Suppose I'll have to sign up on their mailing list and ask. I was
just hoping someone else may have run into it here.

I've tried to built the samples using nant and get this error message
below.
I've never used it before and not sure what to do. This page doesn't
tell
me much:
http://nant.sourceforge.net/release/0.85-rc1/help/functions/pkg-config.exists.html
Where is it looking for the package? I have the latest download for
OS X
installed on the system. All the old versions are gone so far as I
can see.
Somewhere I read to set $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
to /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib/pkgconfig
which
I've done, but that didn't help. Any ideas?
Thank you,
Ron
