I've since observed a couple of failures in bulk builds at MAKE_JOBS=2. The
usual failure mode is
MCS [net_4_0] mono-api-info.exe
error CS0006: Metadata file `../../class/lib/net_2_0/Mono.Cecil.dll' could not be found
or similar (net_4_0 components depending upon unbuilt net_2_0 dependencies).
Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
Setting PLATFORM causes the build system to look for a ${PLATFORM}.make
file; this leads to build failure if a PLATFORM environment variable
leaks in from the outside environment.
The Mono Project is an open development initiative sponsored by Ximian
that is working to develop an open source, Unix version of the Microsoft
.NET development platform. Its objective is to enable Unix developers to
build and deploy cross-platform .NET Applications. The project will
implement various technologies developed by Microsoft that have now been
submitted to the ECMA for standardization.
This package contains the major version 2 of mono.
