[gobolinux-users] Compiling Mono 1.2.2.1

[marco.cagnoli at oltrelinux.com]

Hi all,
I was trying to make my first gobo recipe for the last version of Mono
(1.2.2.1).
I have two problems:

1) Compile Mono fails during the make step with this error

it seems that Mono needs a /proc folder mounted: any idea how to solve this?

2) I'm quite sure I read some time ago something of intersting about a
chrootcompile to force compile to solve all dependencies specifically and
not based on the system where I'm creating the recipe. During the
compilation of Mono (I used simply Compile) it didn't ask me for pkgconfig
and glib as I expected (these dependencies are mentioned in the readme
file) because I have these packages in my system but obviously this is not
thecorrect way. I can't find the article I read any more, can you give me
a link?

Thank you

Marco
