 646                 <li>From the <a href="#scripts">scripts</A>
 647
 648                 <LI><a href="#install">Manually</a> for the first time.

 653         (which is an easy way to get the latest CVS information)
 654
 655 <a name="scripts">
 656 * Compiling with scripts
 657
 658         There are scripts to help build mono for both Unix and Windows.  Get
 659         <a href="mono-build.sh">mono-build.sh</a> for Unix, or <a
 660         href="mono-build-w32.sh">mono-build-w32.sh</a> for Windows.
 661         These scripts automate the installation of GLIB and pkgconfig
 662         (building from source on Unix, and using binary packages
 663         provided by the GIMP for Windows project on Windows.)  To use
 664         the script, follow these simple steps:
 665
 666         <ul>
 667                 * Save the script for your platform somewhere (e.g. /usr/local/bin)
 668                 * Make the script executable (i.e chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/mono-build.sh)
 669                 * Create a directory to hold the mono source, and the compiled binaries (e.g. mkdir ~/mono)
 670                 * Change to the new directory (i.e. cd ~/mono)
 671                 * run the script (i.e. /usr/local/bin/mono-build.sh)
 672         </ul>
 673
 674         The script requires wget on either platform, and building the
 675         software requires make, gcc, automake, autoconf, and libtool.
 676         You should install these packages from your distribution or
 677         with the cygwin installer. You should also take care of setting
 678         the right environment variables as the PKG_CONFIG_FLAGS, etc.
 679
 680         The script will download required packages from
 681         www.go-mono.com and do a cvs checkout of mono in the current
 682         directory.  <b>IMPORTANT!:</b> The cvs server chosen defaults to
 683         anonymous cvs;
 684         set your CVSROOT environment variable before running the script to
 685         select a particular cvs server.
 686
 687 <a name="install">
 688 ** Building the software manually
 689
 690         You will need to obtain the Mono dependencies first: <a
 691         href="http://www.gtk.org">glib 2.x</a> and
 692         <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig">pkg-config</a>.
 693
 694 *** Building on Linux
 695
 696         <ul>
 697                 Unpack the Mono runtime distribution:
 698                 <pre>
 699                 tar xzvf mono-X.XX.tar.gz
 700                 cd mono-X.XX
 701
 702                 </pre>
 703                 <p>
 704
 705                 Then configure, compile and install:
 706
 707                 <pre>
 708
 709                 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
 710                 make
 711                 make install</pre>
 712
 713                 This will give you a runtime, C# compiler and runtime
 714                 libraries.
 715
 716                 If you want to recompile the runtime and the compiler,
 717                 follow these steps, first unpack the MCS package:
 718
 719                 <pre>
 720                 tar xzvf mcs-X.XX.tar.gz
 721
 722                 cd mcs-X.XX
 723                 </pre>
 724
 725                 Then use the following command to compile and install:
 726
 727                 <pre>
 728
 729                 make -f makefile.gnu install prefix=/usr/local
 730                 </pre>
 731
 732                 You can change /usr/local to something else if you want.
 733         </ul>
 734
 735
 736 *** On Windows, to install and work on the compiler and the class libraries:
 737
 738 **** Install Cygwin and the GNU build tools, Microsoft's .NET Framework SDK and the precompiled GLIB 2.0 and pkg-config libraries.
 739
 740         <ul>
 741
 742                 * Install <a href="http://www.cygwin.com">Cygwin</a>.
 743
 744                 * Install <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads">
 745                   Microsoft .NET Framework SDK</a>.
 746
 747                 * Change to the /usr/local directory
 748                   of your Cygwin installation.<br>
 749                   Unzip the precompiled packages listed above.
 750
 751         </ul>
 752         <ul>
 753
 754                 * If you downloaded the Mono
 755                 <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/snapshots">nightly snapshot
 756                 </a>, untar the snapshot.
 757
 758                 * Change directories to "mcs".
 759
 760                 * Compile:
 761
 762                 <pre>
 763                 make
 764                 </pre>

 858 ** Upgrading
 859
 860         To upgrade your Mono installation from CVS, it is very
 861         important that you update your Mono and MCS modules from CVS
 862         at the same time.  Failure to do so might result in a
 863         problematic installation as the runtime and the class
 864         libraries will be out of sync.
 865
 866         Run the following commands to update your CVS tree (more
 867         details in <a href="ccvs.html">Cvs and Mono</a> and the <A
 868         href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS and Mono</a> pages).
 869
 870         <pre>
 871         (cd mono; cvs update -dP .)
 872         (cd mcs; cvs update -dP .)
 873         </pre>
 874
 875         Once you have updated your sources, remove any cached
 876         assemblies or old binaries from the Mono "runtime" directory,
 877         and then compile each component:
 878
 879         <pre>
 880         (cd mono/runtime; rm *exe *dll)
 881         (cd mono; make)
 882         (cd mcs; make)
 883         </pre>
 884
 885         Now you can install the result:
 886
 887         <pre>
 888         (cd mono; make install)
 889         </pre>
 890
 891         Notice that following the above procedure does not require you
 892         to manually install the software in the `mcs' directory, as
 893         the relevant files will be copied by the `mono' makefiles.
