Arch Linux

Hello,

I confirm have had this problem for a few months with previous versions, and still today with mono-tools 3.10-1 (reinstalling all mono-related packages did not help).

The full exception text is at http://pastie.org/9758846 (thrown when calling "monodoc"). Essentially, the file "/usr/lib/monodoc/monodoc.xml" is missing.
Directly calling "/usr/bin/mono /usr/lib/monodoc/browser.exe" throws the same exception.

The upstream tarball as of today ( http://download.mono-project.com/sources/mono/mono-3.10.0.tar.bz2 ) does contain a file named "mono-3.10.0/mcs/docs/monodoc.xml".
Sadly, my lack of knowledge of the mechanisms involved prevents me from analysing why our package doesn't contain or generate such a file.

Thanks for any help

Hi,

the tarball of "mono-tools" repository used to build this package doesn't contain monodoc.xml. monodoc.xml is part of the "mono" repository (https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/mcs/docs/monodoc.xml).

Hi,

The PKGBUILD for mono 3.10.0 says it provides monodoc, but does not contain the monodoc binary. The tarball it uses as a source does contain a "monodoc.xml" file (probably the one we miss).
The PKGBUILD for mono-tools 3.10 doesn't contain provides=('monodoc'), but does contain the /usr/bin/monodoc binary. The tarball it uses as a source does not contain the "monodoc.xml" file.

Something seems wrong in the way the packages are split, but i'm too ignorant of the build process and the making of a package to provide a solution.

Thanks for any further help

Thanks for the information. I will have a look into that these days. Maybe they have changed their source packages.

You may create it manualy, with these content:
