765 * Binaries for other platforms.
767 Already daily volunteer's made binaries:
770 * <a href="http://www.debianplanet.org/mono/">DebianPlanet</a>
771 * <a href="http://www.superin.formativ.net/mono/mono.htm">Windows</a> (works without cygwin!)
778 <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/snapshots">Nightly snapshots</a> of
779 the CVS repository are made every day at 10pm EST (Boston
780 Time). These are not guaranteed to build, they are just a
781 snapshot of the tree.
783 The <a href="anoncvs.html">anoncvs</a> mirrors provided by
784 Hispalinux are updated every six hours.
788 There are a number of ways of compiling Mono
791 <li>From the <a href="#scripts">scripts</A>
793 <LI><a href="#install">Manually</a> for the first time.
795 <li>Manually, <a href="#upgrade">while upgrading</a> to CVS
798 (which is an easy way to get the latest CVS information)
801 * Compiling with scripts
803 There are scripts to help build mono for both Unix and Windows. Get
804 <a href="mono-build.sh">mono-build.sh</a> for Unix, or <a
805 href="mono-build-w32.sh">mono-build-w32.sh</a> for Windows.
806 These scripts automate the installation of GLIB and pkgconfig
807 (building from source on Unix, and using binary packages
808 provided by the GIMP for Windows project on Windows.) To use
809 the script, follow these simple steps:
812 * Save the script for your platform somewhere (e.g. /usr/local/bin)
813 * Make the script executable (i.e chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/mono-build.sh)
814 * Create a directory to hold the mono source, and the compiled binaries (e.g. mkdir ~/mono)
815 * Change to the new directory (i.e. cd ~/mono)
816 * run the script (i.e. /usr/local/bin/mono-build.sh)
819 The script requires wget on either platform, and building the
820 software requires make, gcc, automake, autoconf, and libtool.
821 You should install these packages from your distribution or
822 with the cygwin installer. You should also take care of setting
823 the right environment variables as the PKG_CONFIG_FLAGS, etc.
825 The script will download required packages from
826 www.go-mono.com and do a cvs checkout of mono in the current
827 directory. <b>IMPORTANT!:</b> The cvs server chosen defaults to
829 set your CVSROOT environment variable before running the script to
830 select a particular cvs server.
833 ** Building the software manually
835 You will need to obtain the Mono dependencies first: <a
836 href="http://www.gtk.org">glib 2.x</a> and
837 <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig">pkg-config</a>.
839 *** Building on Linux
842 Unpack the Mono runtime distribution:
844 tar xzvf mono-X.XX.tar.gz
850 Then configure, compile and install:
854 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
858 This will give you a runtime, C# compiler and runtime
861 If you want to recompile the runtime and the compiler,
862 follow these steps, first unpack the MCS package:
865 tar xzvf mcs-X.XX.tar.gz
870 Then use the following command to compile and install:
874 make -f makefile.gnu install prefix=/usr/local
877 You can change /usr/local to something else if you want.
881 *** On Windows, to install and work on the compiler and the class libraries:
883 **** Install Cygwin and the GNU build tools, Microsoft's .NET Framework SDK and the precompiled GLIB 2.0 and pkg-config libraries.
887 * Install <a href="http://www.cygwin.com">Cygwin</a>.
889 * Install <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads">
890 Microsoft .NET Framework SDK</a>.
892 * Change to the /usr/local directory
893 of your Cygwin installation.<br>
894 Unzip the precompiled packages listed above.
899 * If you downloaded the Mono
900 <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/snapshots">nightly snapshot
901 </a>, untar the snapshot.
903 * Change directories to "mcs".
912 *** On Windows, to compile the mono runtime:
916 * If you downloaded the Mono
917 <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/snapshots">nightly snapshot
918 </a>, untar the snapshot.
920 * Change directories to "mono".
922 * Configure, compile and install:
924 ./configure --prefix=c:/mono
931 * Software resources and notes
933 The required and additional software can be downloaded here:
935 * Microsoft's .NET Framework SDK from
936 <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads">
937 msdn.microsoft.com/downloads</a>.
939 * Cygwin and the GNU Make tools from
940 <a href="http://www.cygwin.com">www.cygwin.com</a>.
941 Some people observed problems with autoconf 2.52. Installing
942 autoconf 2.13 helped in those cases.
944 * Precompiled GLIB 2.0 and pkg-config packages (and
945 their dependencies) by the <a href="http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32//index.html">GIMP for Windows</a> project from
946 <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/archive/pkgconfig-0.11-20020310.zip">http://www.go-mono.com/archive/pkgconfig-0.11-20020310.zip</a><br>

954 * Download the Mono source code from the
955 <a href="#feb-11">packaged versions</a> or
956 the <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/snapshots">
957 nightly snapshots</a> or the <a href="anoncvs.html">
958 Anonymous CVS</a>. The nightly snapshots are done every
959 night at 10pm EST (Boston Time). The nightly snapshots are
960 not guaranteed to build, but most of the time they should.
966 *** Notes on compiling GLIB 2.0 and pkg-config from source:
971 * Some people observed problems with autoconf 2.52. Installing
972 autoconf 2.13 helped in those cases (don't forget to do a
973 `make maintainer-clean' after the update).
975 * Download, compile and install <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig">pkg-config</a> from source.
976 (I had to change line 674 of
977 <nobr><tt>pkg-config-0.8.0/glib-1.2.8/gstrfuncs.c</tt></nobr> from
978 <nobr><tt>extern char *strsignal (int sig);</tt></nobr> to

998 glib 2.0</a> from source.
1002 <a name="upgrading">
1005 To upgrade your Mono installation from CVS, it is very
1006 important that you update your Mono and MCS modules from CVS
1007 at the same time. Failure to do so might result in a
1008 problematic installation as the runtime and the class
1009 libraries will be out of sync.
1011 Run the following commands to update your CVS tree (more
1012 details in <a href="ccvs.html">Cvs and Mono</a> and the <A
1013 href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS and Mono</a> pages).
1016 (cd mono; cvs update -dP .)
1017 (cd mcs; cvs update -dP .)
1020 Once you have updated your sources, remove any cached
1021 assemblies or old binaries from the Mono "runtime" directory,
1022 and then compile each component:
1025 (cd mono/runtime; rm *exe *dll)
1030 Now you can install the result:
1033 (cd mono; make install)
1036 Notice that following the above procedure does not require you
1037 to manually install the software in the `mcs' directory, as
1038 the relevant files will be copied by the `mono' makefiles.
