Description
Is this a new report?
Yes
System Info
Void 6.1.54_1 aarch64-musl Unknown notuptodate hold FFF
Package(s) Affected
mono-6.12.0.182_1
Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?
No response
Expected behaviour
When installing mono on an aarch64 platform, in this case a Raspberry Pi 4, all of the mono related files should be installed to /usr/lib/mono.
Running find /usr/lib/mono -type f | wc -l should print 2953, or some other number greater than 1.
Actual behaviour
Running find /usr/lib/mono -type f | wc -l prints 1.
Steps to reproduce
- Install
monoon anaarch64architecture - Try running a program using
mono, it will most likely error out - I discovered this issue when I was trying to get a Terraria server running
The issue is most likely something related to cross-compiling. If I build mono on my rpi4 using xbps-src, all of the mono related files exist within the /usr/lib/mono directory.
Though if I build mono for aarch64 on my x86_64 desktop, there are no files within /usr/lib/mono.

Research direction
Start with the mono-6.12.0.182_1 package and the xbps-src cross-build path, comparing its aarch64 build on x86_64 with a native Raspberry Pi build. Inspect the resulting package contents and /usr/lib/mono installation layout. Done means the cross-built aarch64 package installs the expected Mono files and can run a Mono program.
