* Software Availability

	The Virtual Execution System is available in package `mono'.
	Currently this contains a metadata library and the
	disassembler.  Please reffer to our <a
	href="runtime.html">Runtime</a> description for more details
	on this part of the project.

	The code for the C# compiler as well as the language error
	test suite and the class library are in the `mcs' package, we
	will move this later into `mono' itself. 

	In order to make mcs and the class libraries you will need the
	GNU make tools.  These may be obtained for the Windows
	environment from <a href="www.cygwin.com">cygwin.com</a>.

	You will also need to get GLIB, from: <a
href="ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/glib-1.2.10.tar.gz">ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/glib-1.2.10.tar.gz</a>

** Installing the software

	To install and work on the compiler and the class libraries,
	follow these instructions:

	<ul>
		* Install <a href="http://www.cygwin.org">CygWin</a> first.

		* Untar the MCS distribution (see below for information).

		* Go into the MCS directory and type `make windows'
	</ul>

	To compile the mono runtime on windows:

	<ul>
		* Install <a href="http://www.cygwin.org">CygWin</a> first.

		* Once installed, in a terminal window or a cygwin
		  window (a shortcut should be on your desktop), untar the glib
		  distribution:

<pre>
tar xzvf glib-1.2.10.tar.gz
</pre>

		* Configure, compile and install glib, like this:

<pre>
./configure --prefix=/usr/bin
make
make install
</pre>

		* Unpack the mono distribution:

<pre>
tar xzvf mono-XXX.tar.gz
</pre>

		* Configure, compile and install:

<pre>
./configure --prefix=//c/mono
make
make install
</pre>
	</ul>

	To compile the mono runtime on Unix:

	<ul>

		* Download the mono distribution

		* Unpack the mono distribution:

<pre>
tar xzvf mono-XXX.tar.gz
</pre>

		* Configure, compile and install:
<pre>
./configure
make
make install
</pre>
	</ul>
	
** CVS

	We are trying to figure out where to put our CVS repository.
	We are debating between the GNOME CVS or SourceForge.  Watch
	this spot.
