 360 * Compiling with scripts
 361
 362         There are scripts to help build mono for both Unix and Windows.  Get
 363         <a href="mono-build.sh">mono-build.sh</a> for Unix, or <a
 364         href="mono-build-w32.sh">mono-build-w32.sh</a> for Windows.
 365         These scripts automate the installation of GLIB and pkgconfig
 366         (building from source on Unix, and using binary packages
 367         provided by the GIMP for Windows project on Windows.)  To use
 368         the script, follow these simple steps:
 369
 370         <ul>
 371                 * Save the script for your platform somewhere (e.g. /usr/local/bin)
 372                 * Make the script executable (i.e chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/mono-build.sh)
 373                 * Create a directory to hold the mono source, and the compiled binaries (e.g. mkdir ~/mono)
 374                 * Change to the new directory (i.e. cd ~/mono)
 375                 * run the script (i.e. /usr/local/bin/mono-build.sh)
 376         </ul>
 377
 378         The script requires wget on either platform, and building the
 379         software requires make, gcc, automake, autoconf, and libtool.
 380         You should install these packages from your distribution or
 381         with the cygwin installer. You should also take care of setting
 382         the right environment variables as the PKG_CONFIG_FLAGS, etc.
 383
 384         The script will download required packages from
 385         www.go-mono.com and do a cvs checkout of mono in the current
 386         directory.  <b>IMPORTANT!:</b> The cvs server chosen defaults to
 387         anonymous cvs;
 388         set your CVSROOT environment variable before running the script to
 389         select a particular cvs server.
 390
 391 <a name="install">
 392 ** Building the software manually
 393
 394         You will need to obtain the Mono dependencies first: <a
 395         href="http://www.gtk.org">glib 2.x</a> and
 396         <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig">pkg-config</a>.
 397
 398 *** Building on Linux
 399
 400         <ul>
 401                 Unpack the Mono runtime distribution:
 402                 <pre>
 403                 tar xzvf mono-X.XX.tar.gz
 404                 cd mono-X.XX
 405
 406                 </pre>
 407                 <p>
 408
 409                 Then configure, compile and install:
 410
 411                 <pre>
 412
 413                 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
 414                 make
 415                 make install</pre>
 416
 417                 This will give you a runtime, C# compiler and runtime
 418                 libraries.
 419
 420                 If you want to recompile the runtime and the compiler,
 421                 follow these steps, first unpack the MCS package:
 422
 423                 <pre>
 424                 tar xzvf mcs-X.XX.tar.gz
 425
 426                 cd mcs-X.XX
 427                 </pre>
 428
 429                 Then use the following command to compile and install:
 430
 431                 <pre>
 432
 433                 make -f makefile.gnu install prefix=/usr/local
 434                 </pre>
 435
 436                 You can change /usr/local to something else if you want.
 437         </ul>
 438
 439
 440 *** On Windows, to install and work on the compiler and the class libraries:
 441
 442 **** Install Cygwin and the GNU build tools, Microsoft's .NET Framework SDK and the precompiled GLIB 2.0 and pkg-config libraries.

 562 ** Upgrading
 563
 564         To upgrade your Mono installation from CVS, it is very
 565         important that you update your Mono and MCS modules from CVS
 566         at the same time.  Failure to do so might result in a
 567         problematic installation as the runtime and the class
 568         libraries will be out of sync.
 569
 570         Run the following commands to update your CVS tree (more
 571         details in <a href="ccvs.html">Cvs and Mono</a> and the <A
 572         href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS and Mono</a> pages).
 573
 574         <pre>
 575         (cd mono; cvs update -dP .)
 576         (cd mcs; cvs update -dP .)
 577         </pre>
 578
 579         Once you have updated your sources, remove any cached
 580         assemblies or old binaries from the Mono "runtime" directory,
 581         and then compile each component:
 582
 583         <pre>
 584         (cd mono/runtime; rm *exe *dll)
 585         (cd mono; make)
 586         (cd mcs; make)
 587         </pre>
 588
 589         Now you can install the result:
 590
 591         <pre>
 592         (cd mono; make install)
 593         </pre>
 594
 595         Notice that following the above procedure does not require you
 596         to manually install the software in the `mcs' directory, as
 597         the relevant files will be copied by the `mono' makefiles.
