Thank you for the explanation about the 'configure' script -- it does make a lot of sense for Mono to package the sources like that now that you mention it.

The 'configure' script is generated by the autotools from the 'configure.in' file. So modifying the 'configure.in' file require you to run all the autotools chain to regenerate the 'configure' script before continuing. This is the reason you had to run 'autogen.sh'. When the mono folks release a new mono tarball, they include the generated 'configure' script in it so we have to either patch 'configure.in' and re-run the whole autotools chain, or patch the generated 'configure' which avoids us all the mess that commes with the autotools if we have to change something there. > You said you were able to build lang/mono by just patching the > configure script -- did you also install it after building?
