[Pkg-mono-devel] Problems building from source package

[Will Bryant]

Hi guys,

I tried compiling 1.1.9 from the source package from 
http://people.debian.org/~formorer/mono on my previously mono-less sarge 
box, and got the following:

    [...]
    debian/dh_makeclilibs -i -m 1.0 internal-mono
    dh_makeclilibs: Warning! No Build-Depends(-Indep) on cli-common (>=
    0.2.0)!
    dh_makeclilibs:
    MONO_PATH=debian/tmp/usr/lib/mono/1.0:debian/tmp/usr/lib/mono/2.0
    debian/tmp/usr/bin/monodis could not open
    debian/mono-classlib-1.0/usr/lib/mono/gac/Accessibility/1.0.5000.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/Accessibility.dll,
    maybe some components not installed yet. Using filename to guess the
    assembly name :(
    dh_makeclilibs:
    MONO_PATH=debian/tmp/usr/lib/mono/1.0:debian/tmp/usr/lib/mono/2.0
    debian/tmp/usr/bin/monodis could not open
    debian/mono-classlib-1.0/usr/lib/mono/gac/Commons.Xml.Relaxng/1.0.5000.0__0738eb9f132ed756/Commons.Xml.Relaxng.dll,
    maybe some components not installed yet. Using filename to guess the
    assembly name :(
    [dozens more]


Installing the cli-common package before building resolved the problem, 
but of course a number of other packages were installed as well to 
satisfy its dependencies; working backwards and removing them one by 
one, it seems that the necessary package is libmono0.

I don't know anything about the Debian mono packages, but looking the 
commands above it appears to me that the source package *should* be 
buildable without other packages; is that expected to be the case, or 
are we just missing a build-dependency?

FWIW, the files that it's complaining about, for example 
"debian/mono-classlib-1.0/usr/lib/mono/gac/Accessibility/1.0.5000.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/Accessibility.dll" 
in the errors above, do actually exist (and are readable), so it's not 
that their build failed - it's dh_makeclilibs that doesn't seem to be 
working correctly. "debian/tmp/usr/lib/mono/1.0" and 
"debian/tmp/usr/lib/mono/2.0" also exist, and seem filled with suitable 
assembly goodness, though I do notice that the .config file links are 
broken - ../gac contains .dll files and the corresponding .dll.mdb 
files, but no .dll.config files - but it looks like that's normal, since 
it's that way in the installed packages too?

Cheers,
Will
