Mod_mono on FreeBSD

Posted by Victor on October 2, 2003

Notes on building:

  • FreeBSD's make utitlity is not the GNU version. Use gmake instead.
  • FreeBSD does not have the signbit macro. I've applied Rui Lopes' patch and it does compile now.
  • Either mcs takes a long time to compile or I have a setup problem. It's compiling since yesternight (it's a K6 @200Mhz with just 128MB, but still)
  • I need to use a monocharge to use an updated mcs to compile mcs itself. Duh!
  • It's no use trying to use the releases straight from the web. Fortunately, the FreeBSD port has been updated. It seems mcs is version 0.27 though, but it can now build mcs-0.28 correctly. Yay!

Alternatively, see Bug #2 for more info.
