I just tried to install mono version 2 from darwin ports.
Before starting i uninstalled the mono i had already:
#!/bin/sh -x
#This script removes Mono from an OS X System. It must be run as root
rm -r /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework
rm -r /Library/Receipts/MonoFramework-SVN.pkg
cd /usr/bin
for i in `ls -al | grep Mono | awk '{print $9}'`; do
rm ${i}
done
First i could search for the mono package by typing
$ port search mono
To begin with this did not show the right version so i did :
$ port selfupdate
This checks for a new version of port and updates its list of available software.
now i see:
coco:~ Jim$ port search mono
mono devel/mono 2.0 Implementation of the .NET Development Framework
mono-addins devel/mono-addins 0.3 Mono.Addins is a framework for creating extensible applications
monodoc devel/monodoc 2.0 Documentation for the Mono .NET Development Framework
monotone devel/monotone 0.41 A distributed version control system
mod_mono www/mod_mono 1.1.16.1 an Apache plug-in for hosting the Mono System.Web classes
coco:~ Jim$
so all good, i ran
port install mono
but get :
darwin_stop_world.c:307: error: 'ppc_thread_state_t' has no member named '__r31'
make[3]: *** [darwin_stop_world.lo] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
A quick search on google brought this:
http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-tickets/2008-February/005279.html
The instructions here talk about editing this darwin_stop_world.c file and changing some constant values. They give the path to the file for an older version but a bit of ls ing turned up the new folder:
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_devel_mono/work/mono-2.0/libgc/darwin_stop_world.c
Ok, so now the tricksy bit…
The instructions in the above link talk about some constants not set up correctly. On the line wher ei saw my exception, it was referring to the following bit of code:
#elif defined(POWERPC)
#if defined(_STRUCT_PPC_EXCEPTION_STATE)
lo = (void*)(state.__r1 - PPC_RED_ZONE_SIZE);
GC_push_one(state.__r0);
GC_push_one(state.__r2);
GC_push_one(state.__r3);
GC_push_one(state.__r4);
GC_push_one(state.__r5);
GC_push_one(state.__r6);

in the post, he seemed to simply remove all the ‘__’ underscores and it worked… so:
#if defined(_STRUCT_PPC_EXCEPTION_STATE)
lo = (void*)(state.r1 - PPC_RED_ZONE_SIZE);
GC_push_one(state.r0);
GC_push_one(state.r2);
GC_push_one(state.r3);
GC_push_one(state.r4);
GC_push_one(state.r5);
GC_push_one(state.r6);
GC_push_one(state.r7);
GC_push_one(state.r8);
GC_push_one(state.r9);
GC_push_one(state.r10);
GC_push_one(state.r11);
GC_push_one(state.r12);
GC_push_one(state.r13);

This was defined on lines 130 and 273
the second one now looks like :

Watch out for the top of stack one! its an extra one.
ok this works!
I had to restart the terminal because it didnt seem to find the new programs – it still thought mcs lived in /usr/bin not /opt/local/bin which is where port puts it.
Now i can compile c# version 3.0!!
oh yeah, be sure to use gmcs to compile, not mcs which is the old one.
