[build] Add option to skip Mono MDK provisioning #8993

Closed pjcollins closed 3 weeks ago

pjcollins commented 3 weeks ago

The mono related CLI parameters for xaprepare have been updated to make it possible to skip installation of the Mono MDK via the following:

make prepare-update-mono PREPARE_AUTOPROVISION=1 PREPARE_AUTOPROVISION_SKIP_MONO=1
make prepare PREPARE_AUTOPROVISION=1 PREPARE_AUTOPROVISION_SKIP_MONO=1

Unused ignore-*-mono-version= parameters have been removed and replaced with their default values.

Build warnings in the project have also been fixed on macOS.

My only thought, is do we need the MDK provisioning at all?

I do think we should try to remove it in a future PR, and these changes could let us test jobs one by one on machines where it is not already installed.
