1 * Software Availability
3 The Virtual Execution System is available in package `mono'.
4 Currently this contains a metadata library and the
5 disassembler. Please reffer to our <a
6 href="runtime.html">Runtime</a> description for more details
7 on this part of the project.
9 The code for the C# compiler as well as the language error
10 test suite and the class library are in the `mcs' package, we
11 will move this later into `mono' itself.
13 In order to make mcs and the class libraries you will need the
14 GNU make tools. These may be obtained for the Windows
15 environment from <a href="http://www.cygwin.com">cygwin.com</a>.
17 You will also need to get GLIB, from: <a
18 href="ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/glib-1.2.10.tar.gz">ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/glib-1.2.10.tar.gz</a>
23 We provide both <a href="packaged">packaged and tested</a>
24 tarballs (those are known to compile and pass `make
25 distcheck') as well as <a href="snapshots">daily snapshots</a> done
31 The daily snapshots are available <a
32 href="http://www.go-mono.com/snapshots">here</a>. These
33 snapshots are done every day at 10pm EST (Boston Time).
35 They are not guaranteed to build, but most of the time they
36 should. They should give you a window to see what we are up to.
