Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev

I was wondering why libgdiplus started to require mono stable on ppc64 and it seems it's due to dotnet.eclass usage

Then, if we really need mono at build time, we need to stable a mono version on ppc64... if not, we would need to either allow the dep to be skipped or not use this eclass in libgdiplus

In Fedora it seems it is not really needing mono for build, hence, the dep could be skipped again

Any news on this? This is causing also a circular dep issue

Comment 3 Arsen Shnurkov 2017-02-05 14:33:44 UTC

That's my change. I made an assumption, that all C# code which uses dotnet.eclass also requires mono.

So there are 2 solutions:
1) to remove mono from dotnet.eclass
2) to split dotnet eclass into managed and unmanaged prts and uncouple libgdiplus from dotnet.eclass
