what config stuff needed to have ./autogen run on mac about fsharp HOT 12 CLOSED

Have you installed mono? It installs in

/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/

Look for 2.9.10 or 2.11.4. Install from http://go-mono.com

If you want to try F#, look at http://preview.tryfsharp.org

from fsharp.

What operating system and version are you using to compile F#?

The error means that you do not have autogen automake installed. That said, it is odd that aclocal woiuld be looking in /opt/local, is that a local configuration thing

As for not finding mono, what version do you have installed?

from fsharp.

I am also getting this error, and I already have autogen automake installed via homebrew on the mac (running Lion OSX).

I can confirm also that Mono is installed in the following directory on my machine:

/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/

I have Mono version 2.10.9 installed currently, which as I understand is sufficient to build the F# 3.0 compiler. Any ideas as to what I am missing?

from fsharp.

Have you added mono to the PATH so it's available on the command line, i.e.

$ type mono
mono is /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/bin/mono

from fsharp.

@jaceklaskowski - Yes, but when I execute...

$ type mono

...I get...

/usr/bin/mono

Does the build need the path you mention?

from fsharp.

The first aclocal error can be ignored (it is only there to help
autoreconfig run on some Mac installs). It doesn't matter if that aclocal
path doesn't exist. If you want, remove the call to aclocal and proceed.
Will add a change to suppress the error/warning.

I don't know why the check for mono is failing when mono is obviously
installed. Perhaps just try to comment out the package check and proceed.

Would be great if you could stick with it to help us iron out these
glitches in the source build

i just did a fresh mono dev install , and autogen fails, and I also have

(and the docs on the mono site don't help me or perhaps i'm not looking in
the correct part of the site)

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables MONO_CFLAGS
and MONO_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

(point being, while i'm not a general newbie, i am a mono novice / noob
but I do want to try out F# for a change :) )

I don't know, but it worked for me with the path given so it's worth to give it a try. It's also worth to check the version.

@codeofthewoosters Would also be useful to know what /usr/bin/mono points to.

@jaceklaskowski - Mine is slightly different. See the second command? But I also see you are running Mono
2.11.4. I'm running 2.10.9.

@funnelweb - I've commented out the call to the aclocal path.

from fsharp.

@codeofthewoosters sounds like you have the same config as I (brew etc, plus same mono version)

from fsharp.

Ah, I'm using http://www.macports.org/

from fsharp.

Just removed the PKG_CHECK_MODULES for now, see 5d92337

Please try to build again if you had problems with this.
