Having trouble installing on Linux and windows

[Yuna-She-They]

every time I try to run the script on each platform I keep getting a bunch of errors and I'm not really sure how to fix them

[masonwheeler]

Neither am I, for the moment, as I don't know what the errors are. Could you copy the output to here?

[Yuna-She-They]

mkdir -p bootstrap
cp -R lib/ bootstrap/lib

Mono loads log4net before privatebinpath is set-up, so we need this in the same directory

as NAnt.exe

cp lib/common/neutral/log4net.dll bootstrap
cp src/NAnt.Console/App.config bootstrap/NAnt.exe.config
/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/bin/mcs -target:exe -define:MONO,NET_1_0,NET_1_1,NET_2_0,ONLY_2_0 -out:bootstrap/NAnt.exe -r:bootstrap/log4net.dll
-r:System.Configuration.dll -recurse:src/NAnt.Console/*.cs src/CommonAssemblyInfo.cs
/bin/sh: 1: /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/bin/mcs: not found
Makefile:98: recipe for target 'bootstrap/NAnt.exe' failed
make: *** [bootstrap/NAnt.exe] Error 127

Here you go

[masonwheeler]

All right. Looks like it's trying to run mcs, the Mono C# compiler, at /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/bin/mcs, and it can't find it. Can you verify if that path exists? If it's not there, you probably don't have Mono installed on your system.

[Yuna-She-They]

so I just did a search for mono / mcs and this is what shows up under mono-mcs i A mono-mcs - Mono C# 2.0 / 3.0 / 4.0 / 5.0 compil

[masonwheeler]

All right. But does that specific path exist? Or do you have mcs installed somewhere else?

I wasn't the one who set up the Linux build scripts, so I don't know exactly how this side of it works, but it sure looks like it's looking for mcs at that specific path and not finding it there, even if you do have it somewhere else.

[Yuna-She-They]

no for some reason the path doesn't exist, and I'm not sure where else it could be.

[masonwheeler]

All right, looks like the source of the problem is here. The MONO_DIR environment variable is not defined, and it's plugging that path in as a default.

Not 100% sure, but it looks like you can fix this by finding the Mono install path on your system and setting the MONO_DIR environment variable to that path, and then re-running this.

[Yuna-She-They]

I honestly have no clue where the path is defined it looks like the program is in /usr/bin but Iḿ not sure where everything I need is located

here is an output of my command prompt

/usr/bin/mono
ben@lappy ~/boo $ ./build-tools/bootstrap
mkdir -p bootstrap
cp -R lib/ bootstrap/lib

@eatdrinksleepcode Can you weigh in on this one? It's getting out past the edges of my knowledge at this point...

[Yuna-She-They]

@masonwheeler is there a gitter.im room for the boo programming language? I don't want to keep constantly bothering you about a visual studio extension, I was able to get boo to work on windows with sharpDevlop, but that's about it

[masonwheeler]

No, unfortunately. I've looked into setting one up, but I don't have the access rights to associate an external app with boo-lang. I think @bamboo is the only one who can do that.

@Braber01 what is the output of where mcs?

Check out the .travis.yml config file (in the root of the repository) for how we build on Linux on Travis CI. Try setting the same environment variables as are set there:

NUNIT_VERSION="2.6.3"
NANT_COMMIT="e3644541bf083d8e33f450bfbd1a4147e494769c"
MONO_PATH=mono
MCS_PATH=mcs

[Yuna-She-They]

which mcs says /usr/bin/mcs I'm using linux mint if it helps

[Yuna-She-They]

tried switching mono_path and mcs_path to /usr/bin/mcs and /usr/bin mono and I still got errors
