Hi,
Given what I know about mono and how to package it and wotnot, I think
I'm up to the job of becoming a sponsor on it (there seems to be only me
and Chris Aillon who does things with mono - I'm sorry if anyone else is
and I've missed them - but there is a shortage of peeps who know about
these things).
Perhaps you could take a look at this and suggest what might be
wrong:

By the looks of it (and this is based *purely* on a cursory look over it)
there is a problem with an assertion. Now, given it builds fine on a (I'm
guessing) an x86 box and not on any other architecture, the problem is most
likely down to where the buildsys is looking for packages.
It's not an architecture issue because it builds OK on my x86 box but
fails in mock on the very same x86 box. I thought at first it was a
missing buildreq but I can't think of anything appropriate to add. So
it's probably something to do with the mock environment itself.
Unfortunately the assertion failure is pretty unhelpful in terms of
diagnostics.
Personally, I'd add at the top
%define _libdir /usr/lib, remove the speed up you have for the build (removal
of the tracking dependancies)
OK, tried that. Didn't help.
and change the make install to
make DESTDIR=%{buildroot} install
Huh? That's what it already is (except with the macro version of "make"
used)
and you'll probably find that will work just fine. One thing that is puzzling
me is why you have the same export in two places. Surely when you run the
configure step that will remember what you've exported as it will be written
to a file somewhere in the BUILD/<package_name> directory.
Not sure about this; this is an idiom I spotted in a few mono specs I
looked at whilst trying to figure out what was breaking. If the
configure script *doesn't* record the setting in the Makefile, then the
multiple exports would certainly be needed as the %build and %install
scripts are separate shell scripts.
Mono is a strange beast which (from what I can see) has little respect for
where things should be placed! ;-)
Yeah, I noticed.
Paul.
