 565
 566         <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/snapshots">Nightly snapshots</a> of
 567         the CVS repository are made every day at 10pm EST (Boston

 574 * Compiling the code
 575
 576         There are a number of ways of compiling Mono
 577
 578         <ul>
 579                 <li>From the <a href="#scripts">scripts</A>
 580
 581                 <LI><a href="#install">Manually</a> for the first time.
 582
 583                 <li>Manually, <a href="#upgrade">while upgrading</a> to CVS
 584         </ul>
 585
 586         (which is an easy way to get the latest CVS information)
 587
 588 <a name="scripts">
 589 * Compiling with scripts
 590
 591         There are scripts to help build mono for both Unix and Windows.  Get
 592         <a href="mono-build.sh">mono-build.sh</a> for Unix, or <a
 593         href="mono-build-w32.sh">mono-build-w32.sh</a> for Windows.
 594         These scripts automate the installation of GLIB and pkgconfig
 595         (building from source on Unix, and using binary packages
 596         provided by the GIMP for Windows project on Windows.)  To use
 597         the script, follow these simple steps:
 598
 599         <ul>
 600                 * Save the script for your platform somewhere (e.g. /usr/local/bin)
 601                 * Make the script executable (i.e chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/mono-build.sh)
 602                 * Create a directory to hold the mono source, and the compiled binaries (e.g. mkdir ~/mono)
 603                 * Change to the new directory (i.e. cd ~/mono)
 604                 * run the script (i.e. /usr/local/bin/mono-build.sh)
 605         </ul>
 606
 607         The script requires wget on either platform, and building the
 608         software requires make, gcc, automake, autoconf, and libtool.
 609         You should install these packages from your distribution or
 610         with the cygwin installer. You should also take care of setting
 611         the right environment variables as the PKG_CONFIG_FLAGS, etc.
 612
 613         The script will download required packages from
 614         www.go-mono.com and do a cvs checkout of mono in the current
 615         directory.  <b>IMPORTANT!:</b> The cvs server chosen defaults to
 616         anonymous cvs;
 617         set your CVSROOT environment variable before running the script to
 618         select a particular cvs server.
 619
 620 <a name="install">
 621 ** Building the software manually
 622
 623         You will need to obtain the Mono dependencies first: <a
 624         href="http://www.gtk.org">glib 2.x</a> and
 625         <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig">pkg-config</a>.
 626
 627 *** Building on Linux
 628
 629         <ul>
 630                 Unpack the Mono runtime distribution:
 631                 <pre>
 632                 tar xzvf mono-X.XX.tar.gz
 633                 cd mono-X.XX
 634
 635                 </pre>
 636                 <p>
 637
 638                 Then configure, compile and install:
 639
 640                 <pre>
 641
 642                 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
 643                 make
 644                 make install</pre>
 645
 646                 This will give you a runtime, C# compiler and runtime
 647                 libraries.
 648
 649                 If you want to recompile the runtime and the compiler,
 650                 follow these steps, first unpack the MCS package:
 651
 652                 <pre>
 653                 tar xzvf mcs-X.XX.tar.gz
 654
 655                 cd mcs-X.XX
 656                 </pre>
 657
 658                 Then use the following command to compile and install:
 659
 660                 <pre>
 661
 662                 make -f makefile.gnu install prefix=/usr/local
 663                 </pre>
 664
 665                 You can change /usr/local to something else if you want.
 666         </ul>
 667
 668
 669 *** On Windows, to install and work on the compiler and the class libraries:
 670
 671 **** Install Cygwin and the GNU build tools, Microsoft's .NET Framework SDK and the precompiled GLIB 2.0 and pkg-config libraries.

 674
 675                 * Install <a href="http://www.cygwin.com">Cygwin</a>.

 678                   Microsoft .NET Framework SDK</a>.
 679
 680                 * Change to the /usr/local directory

 682                   Unzip the precompiled packages listed above.
 683

 791 ** Upgrading
 792
 793         To upgrade your Mono installation from CVS, it is very
 794         important that you update your Mono and MCS modules from CVS
 795         at the same time.  Failure to do so might result in a
 796         problematic installation as the runtime and the class
 797         libraries will be out of sync.
 798
 799         Run the following commands to update your CVS tree (more
 800         details in <a href="ccvs.html">Cvs and Mono</a> and the <A
 801         href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS and Mono</a> pages).
 802
 803         <pre>
 804         (cd mono; cvs update -dP .)
 805         (cd mcs; cvs update -dP .)
 806         </pre>
 807
 808         Once you have updated your sources, remove any cached
 809         assemblies or old binaries from the Mono "runtime" directory,
 810         and then compile each component:
 811
 812         <pre>
 813         (cd mono/runtime; rm *exe *dll)
 814         (cd mono; make)
 815         (cd mcs; make)
 816         </pre>
 817
 818         Now you can install the result:
 819
 820         <pre>
 821         (cd mono; make install)
 822         </pre>
 823
 824         Notice that following the above procedure does not require you
 825         to manually install the software in the `mcs' directory, as
 826         the relevant files will be copied by the `mono' makefiles.
