Building trunk r1819 on Fedora 9 w/ mono-core-2.2 fails

[mhcox]

I checked out r1819 of cobra/trunk into a cobra-trunk directory under ~/projects/OSS. I cd'ed into the Source directory and ran "sudo ./install-from-workspace". Initially, I got a failure that I had mono 1.9 and needed mono 2.0+. I could only find 2.0+ in the "rawhide" yum repository and ran "yum update mono-*" and got 2.2. I than re-ran the install-from-workspace script and got the following error:

/home/mhcox/projects/OSS/cobra-trunk/Source/Snapshot/Cobra.Lang/Set.cobra(197):
error: Cannot redeclare "item" as "Object?" because it was declared as "T" earlier.
Compilation failed - 1 error, 0 warnings
Not running due to errors above.

I'm brand new to Cobra (I wanted to install it to start learning more about it). Could someone help me with this problem?

Thanks,
Mike

I'm using Mono 2.0 on Mac OS X and installing r1819 works for me.

When I go to http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html I don't even see a version newer than 2.0.1

Then over at http://mono.ximian.com/monobuild/preview/download-preview/ I see I can get 2.2 Preview 2.

Can you tell yum that you want version 2.0.0 or 2.0.1? Maybe remove the current mono and install mono-core-2.0.1 or mono-core-2.0[.0]

Let us know how it goes. I'll try to look at Mono 2.2 Preview this week to see what the problem is.

It looks like the default yum repositories only have 1.9.1 and the experimental/testing repositories have 2.2 (for Fedora 11 (just released 10)). No 2.0.

The mono site doesn't support downloads for redhat/fedora anymore. I'll see what I can do with the source.

Actually when I bumped the requirement to 2.0, it was in response to someone having problems with 1.2.x (which I considered old) combined with me forgetting there was even a 1.9.x. Now I have 2.0.0 so I can't verify 1.9 will work, but I just updated the installer to drop the requirement down to 1.9.

Please give it a try and let us know how it goes.
