[Opensim-dev] Issues in Running OpenSim on Mac from Source Build

[Shaun T. Erickson]

Linux is not one thing. It's many different distros, put together by 
people who decide what goes into them. The fact that some distro 
maintainers choose package sets that make it difficult for someone to 
compile Mono is not the fault of Linux. That would be like saying all of 
OpenSim is bad because you don't like something about how the Diva 
Distro or Sim-on-a-stick or another distro worked. If the distro doesn't 
do what you need, switch to one that does. At least with Linux, unlike, 
say, Windows, you have that choice. When all else fails, you have the 
tools available to you to build, compile and install any dependency needed.

Some people are fond of saying that RHEL/CentOS is terrible for 
compiling Mono on, yet I've been doing it trivially, for years now. I 
just compiled libgdiplus 3.8 and mono 3.10.0 on CentOS 6.5 last night, 
with no trouble.
