[Pkg-mono-devel] Compiling Mono 3.10.0 on Debian 6.0.3 (armel) on Netgear ReadyNAS Duo v2

[cautiousgiant]

Hi there,

I'm interested in running NZBdrone on my ReadyNAS Duo v2. It depends on
Mono, and ideally Mono 3.6.0. If you run 'apt-get install mono-complete' on
my version of Debian (Squeeze 6.0.3) you get Mono 2.6.7, which is not recent
enough to run NZBdrone.

So I've been trying to build Mono 3.6.0 (and 3.8.0 and 3.10.0) on my
ReadyNAS Duo v2, using the recipe found here:

http://www.nat.li/linux/how-to-install-mono-2-11-2-on-debian-squeeze

(When trying 3.6.0 or later I skip the 'echo...' command, since I assume
that missing file problem has been fixed in more recent versions.)

It all seems to go fine until it tries to build mscorlib.dll, the second
file in the 'runtimes' folder, where it has to use the Mono C# compiler that
it's just built. This is the set of errors spewed out:

Does anybody have any idea how to solve this, or any other approaches to
getting Mono 3.6.0 or later running on the ReadyNAS Duo v2 (which is running
Debian Squeeze 6.0.3)?

Thanks!

Daniel
