The framework1.1 versions of the library are not installed
as the default versions of the System or mscorlib dlls .
The build target in which case will not co-exist with the 
full profile build.

Please decide on whether installing a 1.1 version as the 
default version in the build is possible or not ?.

Summary:  cscc does not find assemblies for 1.1 framework

Original Submission:  When pnetlib is built using --with-profile=framework1.1, 
cscc is unable to find the System.dll and possibly other assemblies at compile 
time. The runtime is able to find them, however. I have also used ilgac to 
confirm that the assemblies are in the GAC.

To reveal the problem, it may necessary to remove $PREFIX/lib/cscc/lib to 
exclude the possibility that cscc will find the other versions of System.dll 
(i.e. 1.2). Then build and install pnetlib using ./configure 
--with-profile=framework1.1.

Compiling anything that causes System.dll to be referenced, such as cscc 
-r:System whateverprogram.cs should cause an error message like "System: No 
such library".

However, explicitly setting the path using -L (to the 1.1 version installed) or 
using -r: with a complete pathname avoids the problem.

This might not really be a bug, per se, but it is confusing. When ./configure 
--with-profile=NAME is used, that profile is not made the default profile. 
Instead whether or not the profile is to be made the default is specified in 
profiles/NAME.

So when I started with no libraries for Pnet installed, and then I built as 
indicated above, I ended up with the 1.1 libraries installed, but they were not 
set as the default. There were no default libs. So cscc failed to find them.

An alternative to hacking the profiles descriptions would be nice. One 
suggestion would be to add the ./configure option --with-default-profile=NAME, 
which would not only cause the profile NAME to be used, but also caused the 
resulting libs to be installed as the defaults.
