Bugzilla Bug 106661

Monodevelop looks for mcs in non-existing/not standard paths. It tried to
access
mcs at /usr/libin.

As a workaround helps creating a symlink in /usr/libin pointing to real mcs.

Have a nice day

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check if /usr/libin doesn't exist (it is not created by the ebuild because
it
seems to be a typo)
2. Try to compile any c# project
3. See the message about mcs not being found in /usr/libin



Expected Results:  
It should have used standard $PATH or /usr/bin/env mcs

Mono and Monodevelop have been built using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge ...

$ whereis mcs
mcs: /usr/bin/mcs /usr/X11R6/bin/mcs /usr/bin/X11/mcs
/usr/share/man/man1/mcs.1.gz

Is this really hopeless? Don't file ebuild bugs under Bugzilla product... *sigh*

oops, sorry, that was my #1 bugzilla commit ever ;)

Yeah, I see the source of this error in the code, just have to find a proper
fix
for it. For completeness, can you report the output of running "cat `which
mcs`"? I'm assuming it will be something like:

peter@stu ~ $ cat `which mcs`
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/mono /usr/lib64/mono/1.0/mcs.exe "$@"

Created an attachment (id=69046) [details]
patch to monodevelop-0.7 to fix the issue.

Ok, here's a patch for monodevelop that should resolve the issue on multilib
systems using /usr/lib32 or /usr/lib64. Put this file into
/usr/portage/dev-util/monodevelop/files/.

Ebuild that applies the patch to follow.

Created an attachment (id=69047) [details]
monodevelop-0.7-r2.ebuild

Ebuild that applies the patch. Put this in /usr/portage/dev-util/monodevelop/

then do 'ebuild monodevelop-0.7-r2.ebuild digest', and then emerge the new
monodevelop. Please report if this fixes things for you. Thanks.

Sorry, I was out of town for 2 days (had to leave) and couldn't follow the bug.
That's why I couldn't cat for you.

Today I applied and reemerged monodevelop, removed my custom symlink and
recompiled a relatively big project. It worked flawlessly.

Thank you.

Ok, i've just commited 0.7-r2 to the tree. Thanks for testing. In the future,
*please* don't change the status of bugs after confirming things like this.
marking this resolved will just potentially make the bug sink below my radar.
Anyway, marking CLOSED. Thanks again.

ok, thank you, next time ill do all properly :)
