xsp-2.10.2-r2 fails to configure due to missing gmcs

[ninjacato]

Hi,

xsp fails to install on mono-4.0.1.34 because the gmcs script does not exist in /usr/bin. The workaround is to add a GMCS-variable to the configure script (see patch below).

will build with mono 3.x work with econf GMCS=/usr/bin/mcs ? if so it's possible just to add it to ebuild but maybe something is wrong with mono 4 there... same about previous issue

[kernelOfTruth]

referencing https://github.com/gentoo/dotnet/issues/29

dev-dotnet/notify-sharp-0.4.0_pre20090305 from the gentoo tree also fails with this issue, btw

also sqlite dependency is wrong - https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=28502

see also http://www.monobrasil.com.br/docs/faq/aspnet/ you need to create a ~/App_Data/aspnetdb.sqlite SQLite database file. You can use the sqlite3 program and the SQL commands at Membership/Roles/Profile provider schema:

$ sqlite3 aspnetdb.sqlite sqlite> CREATE TABLE Users ( -- etc., from above link page );

Once you’ve created the ~/App_Data/apsnetdb.sqlite file, restart your ASP.NET app and things should Just Work (wrt MembershipProvider, anyway).

Why should I install sqlite, if I have postgresql already? But dependency of sqlite is hardcoded into ebuild - https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/blob/ddd9fa7b84508e222a59e23121227863c647ce21/www-servers/xsp/xsp-2014.12-r2014120900.ebuild#L24

And by default it have "Build SQLite samples: no" !!!

xsp-3.0

gmcs is fixed by symlinking mcs to /usr/bin/gmcs

after that, it will complain about missing dotnet assemblies. this is because gentoo has the -api suffix in mono folders. this is fixed by appending -api to /mono/2.0 and /mono/4.0 in the configure scripts.

full steps to successfully build xsp:

su
ln -s mcs /usr/bin/gmcs
ebuild /usr/portage/dev-dotnet/xsp/xsp-2.10.2-r2.ebuild fetch
ebuild /usr/portage/dev-dotnet/xsp/xsp-2.10.2-r2.ebuild unpack
cd /var/tmp/portage/dev-dotnet/xsp-2.10.2-r2/work/xsp-2.10.2
sed -i 's|\(/mono/2.0\)|\1-api|' configure
sed -i 's|\(/mono/4.0\)|\1-api|' configure
ebuild /usr/portage/dev-dotnet/xsp/xsp-2.10.2-r2.ebuild compile
ebuild /usr/portage/dev-dotnet/xsp/xsp-2.10.2-r2.ebuild install
ebuild /usr/portage/dev-dotnet/xsp/xsp-2.10.2-r2.ebuild qmerge

Thanks Francesco, I was stuck after fixing the gmcs and was hoping for a e-build fix but it seems like it never happened. Your 'sed' instructions did the trick and have built XSP.
