Question

Fresh install of Centos5 32 & 64 on vmware vps...

yum install gcc glib2-devel bison libX11-devel freetype-devel fontconfig-devel gcc-c++ libpng-devel
wget http://download.mono-project.com/sources/libgdiplus/libgdiplus-2.10.9.tar.bz2
tar jxfv libgdiplus-2.10.9.tar.bz2 
cd libgdiplus-2.10.9
./configure --prefix=/opt/mono
make && make install

Here is the output:

Answer 1

export echo=echo

From this nabble:

For some reason the libtool script being generated by autogen contains lines referring to "$echo message" instead of "echo message".

exporting echo=echo worked, despite being totally wierd.

Answer 2

This is my solution:

[root@oscar libgdiplus-2.10.9]# pwd
/root/libgdi/libgdiplus-2.10.9

[root@oscar libgdiplus-2.10.9]# ls -la libtool
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 292559 Jul  8 14:12 libtool

[root@oscar libgdiplus-2.10.9]# ls -la pixman/libtool
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 211592 Jul  8 14:12 pixman/libtool

You can see that the two files "libtool" are different:

mv pixman/libtool pixman/libtool.old
cp libtool pixman/libtool

It works!!!

Answer 3

Try install autoconf >= 2.68 and use

yum install autoconf-2.68 gcc glib2-devel bison libX11-devel freetype-devel fontconfig-devel gcc-c++ libpng-devel 
wget http://download.mono-project.com/sources/libgdiplus/libgdiplus-2.10.9.tar.bz2
tar jxfv libgdiplus-2.10.9.tar.bz2 
cd libgdiplus-2.10.9
autoreconf -fiv
./configure --prefix=/opt/mono
make && make install
