Cross-compiling Mono for MIPS32

I am trying to cross compile mono on SetTopBox (Linux Platform) which
has a MIPS 32-bit architecture. I have tried out different toolchains; in every case I am able to configure mono, but when I run make it gives me error. Is it because the GCC version of the toolchain does not have a version number higher than the GCC version for mono?

For example, if the Mono version is 3.2 and I have GCC version 4.6, what should be the minimum GCC version required for the tool chain that I will be using. Can I use a tool chain with a GCC version less than 4.6 or not?

If you are hitting a compilation error, please post the relevant part of the output from make in your question – ali_m

As you are trying on build on STB platform (mips32), using any tool chain won't help. You need to use SoC specific toolchain. The toolchain itself will give you the required version of GCC/G++ version based on the SoC you are using.

Secondly, ensure that the platform PC where you are building the cross compilation has all the required system packages necessary.

Thanks!
