Nemerle 0.9.3 on MacOSX 10.5.2

[shad0an]

I was able to successfully configure and install nemerle, but I seem
unable to actually use it. I keep getting these errors when running
ncc (aka mono ncc.exe):

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Cerberus:~ visage$ ncc

Any ideas? Thanks!

Are you sure the Nemerle.dll is properly installed into the GAC?

Ah, I think I see what was going wrong. While the install script
claimed it installed the Nemerle dlls, it seems that it wasn't in the
right place. I installed the dlls by hand (gacutil -i) and everything
works well. The script was installing to /usr/lib/mono/gac when it
should have been installing to /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/
Versions/1.9/lib/mono/gac.

All is well! Thanks for the tip!

Except...

Now I get this error:

Cerberus:Nemerle visage$ ncc -o viterbi.exe viterbi.n
error: cannot find assembly `Nemerle'

It would seem I have to install other things as well. Perhaps I can
define the install location in the config file?

And just to complete the thought -- after much exploration, I found
the solution here: http://nemerle.org/mailman/pipermail/bugs/2006-November/002855.html


In short, these are the steps that must be taken to get Nemerle to
work correctly with Mono installed as the framework on MacOSX:

./configure --prefix=/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Home \
--libdir=/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/
Libraries;

make
make install

ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Commands/ncc /usr/bin/ncc;
ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Commands/ncc.exe
/usr/bin/ncc.exe;
ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Commands/nemish /usr/bin/
nemish;
ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Commands/nemish.exe
/usr/bin/nemish.exe;
