Thanks Jonathan.
I was aware that Boehm was broken, and so I added --with-sgen=yes and
--disable-boehm as noted (though it looks like the configure line in my
email was missing the options - sorry for the confusion).
I've also tried adding --with-gc=none instead of --disable-boehm, and in
addition to --disable-boehm, and a few combinations of the three options.
I've even thrown in --with-moon-gc=sgen:
note the following differences between these attempts and my earlier email:
- replaced --host and --target with armv7-a-linux-androideabi. Previously I
was using armv5-linux-androideabi
- Changed CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to -DARM_FPU_VFP. Previously I was using
-DARM_FPU_NONE=1
- hard coded i686-pc-linux-gnu for --build. Previously I was using
--build=`config.guess` which gave a command config.guess not found error.
I ran ./config.guess manually and inserted the value into the options.
-- Original, successful build config for mono branch mono-2-10-8:
./autogen.sh --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=armv7-a-linux-androideabi
--target=armv7-a-linux-androideabi --enable-nls=no --with-mcs-docs=no
--with-mcs-build=no --with-moonlight=no --with-gc=none
CFLAGS=-DARM_FPU_VFP=1 CXXFLAGS=-DARM_FPU_VFP
This builds successfully. Next, I tried with mono branch master:
