Cobra Forums

I'm using an Ubuntu 8.10 system. I've done the svn co to get the current tree, but I can't get install-from-workspace working for me. It might well be that I am missing something in my Ubuntu setup. I seem to have libmono installed, version 1.9.1, but it possible that I'm missing some part of it which is expected?

Note that I haven't installed any of the downloadable installations before this. Do I need to do that before I can install from workspace?

Anyway, I'm in Source and I try:

sudo ./install-from-workspace

and I get:

Code: Select all

You may need to run via sudo or as root in order to
install to system directories like /usr/local/cobra

Compiling installation program...

Any ideas?

There seems to be a lot of Windows-related stuff in that error message... (.dll's and .exe's)...

Hi,

could you check if "gmcs" from command line is giving something?

here is what I get:

Code: Select all

error CS2008: No files to compile were specified

Yeah it looks like Mono run-time is installed, but not the full dev tools. So maybe there is another package to be installed. Can you search your packages for "mono"?

Or you can build mono from source.

Like gauthier said, you're gmcs seems to be missing.

Yup, just needed to install mono-gmcs. Given how many mono packages there were for me to chose from, and that under ubuntu, at least, while mono was installed, gmcs wasn't, it might be worth noting that gmcs is a required component in order for cobra (or simply the install) to work.

Thanks for the good help, as always!
