The class library needs a C# compiler, so first it checks whether you have one in $PATH it can use. It is normal that you wouldn't have one (and it would likely be too out of date anyway, and get rejected) > make[7]: *** [build/profiles/basic.make:118: > build/deps/basic-profile-check.exe] Error 127 > *** The runtime 'mono' doesn't appear to be usable. > *** Trying the 'monolite-linux/1051600014' directory. Now it's looking at the bootstrap compiler bundled into the source package, and checking the version on it. > Unhandled Exception: > System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance > of an object > at Mono.CSharp.Binary.CreatePointerOperatorsTable > (Mono.CSharp.BuiltinTypes types) [0x0006b] in > <9d70195405974ada92fc07fda5c6d57c>:0 > [ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.NullReferenceException: > Object reference not set to an instance of an object > at Mono.CSharp.Binary.CreatePointerOperatorsTable > (Mono.CSharp.BuiltinTypes types) [0x0006b] in > <9d70195405974ada92fc07fda5c6d57c>:0 Here's a real problem - the runtime is totally screwing up the basic compiler check. Looping in Calvin (HI CALVIN!) - does the above look familiar, in any of your PowerPC tinkering? > make[9]: *** [build/profiles/basic.make:118: > build/deps/basic-profile-check.exe] Error 1 > *** The contents of your 'monolite-linux/1051600014' directory may be > out-of-date > *** You may want to try 'make get-monolite-latest' The build system gives up as it can't find a viable compiler to use.
