An issue when running mono 2.10.2 mkbundle on Mac OS X snow leopard

Question

This page has info about Bundles with mkbundle, but when I tried to use it on Mac, I got this error message.

delegate> mkbundle delegate.exe -o delegate
OS is: Darwin
Sources: 1 Auto-dependencies: False
   embedding: /Users/smcho/Desktop/csharp/delegate/delegate.exe
Compiling:
as -o temp.o temp.s 
temp.s:2:unknown section type: symbol_stubs
temp.s:2:Rest of line ignored. 1st junk character valued 112 (p).
[Fail]

And from this site, I could run export AS="as -arch i386" to get another error.

Compiling:
as -arch i386 -o temp.o temp.s 
cc -g -o a.out -Wall temp.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs mono-2`  temp.o
ld: warning: ignoring file /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/2.10.2/lib/libmono-2.0.dylib, file was built for unsupported file format which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64)

[Fail]

I see this is a problem of 32bit/64bit compilation issue, then how to remove this error message? I tried with export CC="cc -arch i386", but it doesn't work.

Answer 1

I had to take the following steps.

1. export AS="as -arch i386"
2. export CC="cc -arch i386"
3. Run without --static option. Just run mkbuild BINARY. With the option --deps, it seems to embed more dlls. You can use -z option to zip the embedded libraries.

You may get more hints from this, and this. Mono's mkbundle is explained in this.
