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="www.cygwin.com">cygwin.com</a>.
17 You will also need to get GLIB, from: <a

23 Currently we will be providing CVS snapshots every day, until
24 we make the first tarball release.

84 * Untar the MCS distribution (see below for information).
86 * Go into the MCS directory and type `make windows'
89 To compile the mono runtime on windows:
92 * Install <a href="http://www.cygwin.org">CygWin</a> first.
94 * Once installed, in a terminal window or a cygwin
95 window (a shortcut should be on your desktop), untar the glib
99 tar xzvf glib-1.2.10.tar.gz
102 * Configure, compile and install glib, like this:
105 ./configure --prefix=/usr/bin
110 * Unpack the mono distribution:
113 tar xzvf mono-XXX.tar.gz
116 * Configure, compile and install:
119 ./configure --prefix=//c/mono
125 To compile the mono runtime on Unix:
129 * Download the mono distribution
131 * Unpack the mono distribution:
134 tar xzvf mono-XXX.tar.gz
137 * Configure, compile and install:
147 We are trying to figure out where to put our CVS repository.
148 We are debating between the GNOME CVS or SourceForge. Watch
