-* Compiling Mono
-
- This document describes how to compile and install Mono from
- its source code. If you are only interested in running Mono,
- you might want to install Mono from packages, which have been
- tested.
-
- The core of Mono is split in two components:
-
- <ul>
- * C components (available in the mono package)
-
- * C# components (available in the mcs package).
- </ul>
-
- Mono is also available in various forms:
-
- <dl>
- <dt>Officially <a href="download.html">released</a> packages.</dt>
- <dd>
- <p>This is the format of choice for people to use, since these
- have been tested and are known to build and work.
- </dd>
- <dt><a href="daily">Daily</a> packages.</dt>
- <dd>
- <p>This is a service offered for people who want to try out the
- daily changes. Baked daily.</dd>
- <dt>CVS source code.</dt>
- <dd>
- <p>These are available to Mono <a href="ccvs.html">developers</a> and
- also for enthusiasts through <a href="anoncvs.html">anonymous CVS</a>.
- </dd>
- <dt>CVS snapshots.</dt>
- <dd>
- <p>Available for curious developers which do not necessarily want to
- install the CVS source. Baked daily.
- </dd>
- </dl>
-
-* Compiling the code
-
- There are a number of ways of compiling Mono
-
- <ul>
- <li>From the <a href="#scripts">scripts</A>
-
- <LI><a href="#install">Manually</a> for the first time.
-
- <li>Manually, <a href="#upgrade">while upgrading</a> to CVS
- </ul>
-
- (which is an easy way to get the latest CVS information)
-
-<a name="scripts">
-* Compiling with scripts
-
- These scripts should be used for installing from packages, specially
- on Windows, where dependencies have not always been installed.
-
- There are scripts to help build mono for both Unix and Windows. Get
- <a href="mono-build.sh">mono-build.sh</a> for Unix, or <a
- href="mono-build-w32.sh">mono-build-w32.sh</a> for Windows.
- These scripts automate the installation of GLIB and pkgconfig
- (building from source on Unix, and using binary packages
- provided by the GIMP for Windows project on Windows.) To use
- the script, follow these simple steps:
-
- <ul>
- * Save the script for your platform somewhere (e.g. /usr/local/bin)
- * Make the script executable (i.e chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/mono-build.sh)
- * Create a directory to hold the mono source, and the compiled binaries (e.g. mkdir ~/mono)
- * Change to the new directory (i.e. cd ~/mono)
- * run the script (i.e. /usr/local/bin/mono-build.sh)
- </ul>
-
- The script requires wget on either platform, and building the
- software requires make, gcc, automake, autoconf, and libtool.
- You should install these packages from your distribution or
- with the cygwin installer. You should also take care of setting
- the right environment variables as the PKG_CONFIG_FLAGS, etc.
-
- The script will download required packages from
- www.go-mono.com and do a cvs checkout of mono in the current
- directory. <b>IMPORTANT!:</b> The cvs server chosen defaults to
- anonymous cvs;
- set your CVSROOT environment variable before running the script to
- select a particular cvs server.
-
-<a name="install">
-
-** Building the software manually
-
- You will need to obtain the Mono dependencies first: <a
- href="http://www.gtk.org">glib 2.x</a> and
- <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig">pkg-config</a>.
-
-*** Building From Packages
-
- This applies to both the officially released packages, as well as the
- daily tarball packages.
-
- <ul>
- Unpack the Mono runtime distribution:
- <pre class="shell">
- tar xzvf mono-X.XX.tar.gz
- cd mono-X.XX</pre>
- <p>
-
- Then configure, compile and install:
-
- <pre class="shell">
- ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
- make
- make install</pre>
-
- This will give you a runtime, C# compiler and runtime
- libraries.
-
- If you want to recompile the runtime and the compiler,
- follow these steps, first unpack the MCS package:
-
- <pre class="shell">
- tar xzvf mcs-X.XX.tar.gz</pre>
-
- Then use the following command to compile and install:
-
- <pre class="shell">
- ./configure --profile=atomic
- make</pre>
-
- You can change /usr/local to something else if you want.
- </ul>
-
-*** Building from CVS
-
- To upgrade your Mono installation from CVS, it is very
- important that you update your Mono and MCS modules from CVS
- at the same time. Failure to do so might result in a
- problematic installation as the runtime and the class
- libraries will be out of sync.
-
- Run the following commands to update your CVS tree (more
- details in <a href="ccvs.html">Cvs and Mono</a> and the <A
- href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS and Mono</a> pages).
-
- <pre>
- (cd mono; cvs update -dP .)
- (cd mcs; cvs update -dP .)
- </pre>
-
- Then you can run:
-
- <pre>
- (cd mono; make bootstrap)
- </pre>
-
- Now you can install the result:
-
- <pre>
- (cd mono; make install)
- </pre>
-
- Notice that following the above procedure does not require you
- to manually install the software in the `mcs' directory, as
- the relevant files will be copied by the `mono' makefiles.
-
-* Software resources and notes
-
- The required and additional software can be downloaded here:
-
- * Microsoft's .NET Framework SDK from
- <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads">
- msdn.microsoft.com/downloads</a>.
-
- * Cygwin and the GNU Make tools from
- <a href="http://www.cygwin.com">www.cygwin.com</a>.
- Some people observed problems with autoconf 2.52. Installing
- autoconf 2.13 helped in those cases.
-
- * Precompiled GLIB 2.0 and pkg-config packages (and
- their dependencies) by the <a href="http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32//index.html">GIMP for Windows</a> project from

-
-
- * Download the Mono source code from the
- <a href="download.html">packaged versions</a> or
- the <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/snapshots">
- nightly snapshots</a> or the <a href="anoncvs.html">
- Anonymous CVS</a>. The nightly snapshots are done every
- night at 10pm EST (Boston Time). The nightly snapshots are
- not guaranteed to build, but most of the time they should.

-*** Notes on compiling GLIB 2.0 and pkg-config from source:
-
-
- <ul>
-
- * Some people observed problems with autoconf 2.52. Installing
- autoconf 2.13 helped in those cases (don't forget to do a
- `make maintainer-clean' after the update).
-
- * Download, compile and install <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig">pkg-config</a> from source.
- (I had to change line 674 of
- <nobr><tt>pkg-config-0.8.0/glib-1.2.8/gstrfuncs.c</tt></nobr> from
- <nobr><tt>extern char *strsignal (int sig);</tt></nobr> to
- <nobr><tt>extern const char *strsignal (int sig);</tt></nobr>.
-
-<pre class="shell">
-tar xzvf pkg-config-0.8.0.tar.gz
-cd pkg-config-0.8.0
-./configure --prefix=/usr
-make
-make install
-</pre>
-
- * Download, compile and install <a href="ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv/libiconv-1.7.tar.gz">libiconv</a> from source.<br>
- If you dont have MS Visual C/C++ 4.0 or 5.0 or 6.0 you can also try
- the binary package available at <a
- href="http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/libiconv-1.9.1.bin.woe32.zip">
- http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/libiconv-1.9.1.bin.woe32.zip</a>
-
-
- * Download, compile and install the
- <a href="ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.0/glib-2.0.6.tar.gz">
- glib 2.0</a> from source.
