Mono supports DTrace on OS X and Solaris, so I thought it would be nice to have it working on FreeBSD as well. I made a few minor changes to the configuration script (actually, the 'patch-configure' file in the port) to enable the DTrace support, but when I tried to build Mono again the configure script detected DTrace but skipped over it due to some error.
After looking through the configure script, I determined that the dtrace tool was returning an error when it was invoked to generate the probe header file.
When I ran
Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this? I haven't used dtrace before -- ever -- so I don't even know where to start. All I could find from searching is that dtrace apparently can't find the definition for the devstat struct, but that's not used anywhere within the mono.d file so I'm at a loss to explain it.
If it matters, I recompiled my kernel a few weeks ago when DTRACE was enabled by default for the generic kernel; the output from
