Hi all,

 

I am trying to get Mono running on a spider III device including an ARM920t processor with Linux as OS.

 

/host $ uname -a

Linux Spider-III 2.6.17.3-axo-s07.2 #1425 Fri Jul 25 10:59:30 CEST 2008 armv4tl unknown

 

When I try to invoke a simple hello_world.exe I get 399 assertions in eglib (always the same asserts):

 

/host $ ./mono hello_world.exe

../../../../eglib/src/ghashtable.c:293: assertion 'hash != NULL' failed

../../../../eglib/src/ghashtable.c:236: assertion 'hash != NULL' failed

../../../../eglib/src/ghashtable.c:293: assertion 'hash != NULL' failed

../../../../eglib/src/ghashtable.c:236: assertion 'hash != NULL' failed

…

 

The ‘Hello World’ is also displayed:

../../../../eglib/src/ghashtable.c:293: assertion 'hash != NULL' failed

../../../../eglib/src/ghashtable.c:236: assertion 'hash != NULL' failed

Hello World../../../../eglib/src/ghashtable.c:293: assertion 'hash != NULL' failed

…

 

The hello world code:

using System;

namespace foobar {

   public class foo {

      public static void Main(string[] args) {

         Console.WriteLine("Hello World");

      }

   }

}

 

I am absolutely new to Mono and completely lost with this behavior. Maybe someone knows the reason or can point me to a direction to find the issue?

I attached a trace (./mono –trace hello_world.exe), maybe this helps? The trace is cut to fit into this mail, please let me know if a full trace is needed.

 

I am using the debian source package of Mono 2_10_8.1-1 because in the official release a unittest fails.

To get Mono build with the ‘old’ ARM  toolchain provided by the vendor I made a few changes in the project please see below.

I am calling configure with the following parameters:

configure  --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=arm-axotec-linux-gnu LD=arm-axotec-linux-gnu-ld OBJDUMP=arm-axotec-linux-gnu-objdump --prefix=/host --disable-mcs-build --srcdir=../..

 

configure.in:

+dnl

+dnl BEGIN Conworx Spider III ARMv4t settings

+dnl there are already arm-*-linux* settings below but the place is to late, checks which

+dnl tested before fails. So I added my specific stuff here without changing the old

+dnl the check for cross compiling is included in the mono release but removed

+dnl in the debian source package because for the debian distribution no cross

   if (isnan (v) || !(v >= -0.5 && v <= ULLONG_MAX+0.5)) {

      mono_raise_exception (mono_get_exception_overflow ());

 

 

Would be great to get some help!
