[200] Error compiling Mono.Net

[snamds]

First of all I've to admit that I'm a total linux newbie so be understanding with my very first linux approach please
I'm trying to compile it natively on my A300. My goal is to be able to execute 'mono myExecutable.exe' in the nmt.

The short explanation:

After compilation I get a 'mono' executable:

Code:

./mono: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, MIPS, MIPS32 rel2 version 1, dynamically link
ed (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.12, with unknown capability 0xf41 = 0x7
56e6700, with unknown capability 0x70100 = 0x1040000, not stripped

But it doesn't work

Code:

sh-3.00# ./mono
Segmentation fault

Code:

sh-3.00# strace ./mono
execve("./mono", ["./mono"], [/* 44 vars */]) = 0
brk(0)                                  = 0x878000
uname({sys="Linux", node="A300", ...})  = 0
old_mmap(NULL, 16384, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) =
0x2aac8000
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
Segmentation fault

Code:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/SATA_DISK/mono-2.10.8/mono/mini
/mono

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x2aaab064 in ?? ()
   from /opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/SATA_DISK/Apps/local/lib/ld.so.1
(gdb)

Does anyone know what the problem can be?

Large explanation:

Vaidyasr compiled it and incuded it in the opkg package but it doesn't work either. It says "segmentation fault" too. Before asking him to fix it again I've tried it by myself.

The compilation instructions in the mono.net page are quite easy:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local; make; make install

Previous to compile I've setup the shell with this commands I've found in the forum:

Code:

PATH=/share/Apps/local/bin:$PATH;export PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/opt/syb/sigma/bdj:/opt/syb/sigma/bdj/jvm/lib:/opt/syb/sigma/bdj/bdj/lib:/opt/syb/app/lib:/opt/syb/sigma/lib:/usr/local/lib:/share/Apps/local/lib;export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

After messing around with a lot of opkg packages, symbolink links for missing libraries, etc. I ended up with an error in the ''make" command:

Code:

I've been investigating and 'gmcs' is a .net executable. That means that is executed using 'mono gmcs' command, so at this point I should have a mono executable.
I've found the 'mono' executable in a temp dir. Trying to execute it I get the results I've written before.

Any help will be welcome.
Thanks in advance.

I'll try to recompile again and release it for testing.

Vaidyasr, thank you so much.

Mono has released the version 2.11.1. Since version 2.11.0 claims to have full MIPS support.

I've tried to compile it natively and I get a woking 'mono' executable. If I execute "mono -V", it works ok!
What I have not been able is to compile the framework. When 'mono' is compiled in a system that already have mono installed, it uses the already existing mono in the system to create this part I fail to generate.

Could you vaidyasr (or any other one) try to cross compile it?

Here you have the last sources:
http://download.mono-project.com/sources....1.tar.bz2

Here the instructions:
http://www.mono-project.com/Compiling_Mono_From_Tarball

I had problems compiling and I had to use:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-minimal=profiler

And I have not tested it but I think that this creates the ipk package:
make mono-ipk

Thank you very much in advance!
