./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local
make
+ The Mono build system is silent for most compilation commands.
+ To enable a more verbose compile (for example, to pinpoint
+ problems in your makefiles or your system) pass the V=1 flag to make, like this:
+
+ make V=1

c. Building the software from SVN
---------------------------------
This value is set to `no' by default.
+ --enable-small-config=yes,no
+
+ Enable some tweaks to reduce memory usage and disk footprint at
+ the expense of some capabilities. Typically this means that the
+ number of threads that can be created is limited (256), that the
+ maxmimum heap size is also reduced (256 MB) and other such limitations
+ that still make mono useful, but more suitable to embedded devices
+ (like mobile phones).
+
+ This value is set to `no' by default.
+
--with-ikvm-native=yes,no
Controls whether the IKVM JNI interface library is
This defaults to `yes'.
- --with-preview=yes,no
+ --with-profile4=yes,no
+
+ Whether you want to build the 4.x profile libraries
+ and runtime.
- Whether you want to build libraries that are still not
- completed (The 2.0 APIs). It defaults to `yes'.
+ It defaults to `yes'.
--with-moonlight=yes,no
(1.1 and 2.0 APIs).
This will produce the `smcs' compiler which will reference
- the Silvelright modified assemblies (mscorlib.dll,
+ the Silverlight modified assemblies (mscorlib.dll,
System.dll, System.Code.dll and System.Xml.Core.dll) and turn
on the LINQ extensions for the compiler.
- This option defaults to `no' and it is considered pre-alpha.
-
--with-libgdiplus=installed,sibling,<path>
This is used to configure where should Mono look for
Disables support for the Ahead of Time
compilation.
- profiler:
- Disables support for the default profiler.
+ attach:
+ Support for the Mono.Management assembly and the
+ VMAttach API (allowing code to be injected into
+ a target VM)
+
+ com:
+ Disables COM support.
+
+ debug:
+ Drop debugging support.
decimal:
Disables support for System.Decimal.
+ full_messages:
+ By default Mono comes with a full table
+ of messages for error codes. This feature
+ turns off uncommon error messages and reduces
+ the runtime size.
+
+ generics:
+ Generics support. Disabling this will not
+ allow Mono to run any 2.0 libraries or
+ code that contains generics.
+
+ jit:
+ Removes the JIT engine from the build, this reduces
+ the executable size, and requires that all code
+ executed by the virtual machine be compiled with
+ Full AOT before execution.
+
+ large_code:
+ Disables support for large assemblies.
+
+ logging:
+ Disables support for debug logging.
+
pinvoke:
Support for Platform Invocation services,
disabling this will drop support for any
libraries using DllImport.
- debug:
- Drop debugging support.
+ portability:
+ Removes support for MONO_IOMAP, the environment
+ variables for simplifying porting applications that
+ are case-insensitive and that mix the Unix and Windows path separators.
+
+ profiler:
+ Disables support for the default profiler.
reflection_emit:
Drop System.Reflection.Emit support
- large_code:
- Disables support for large assemblies.
+ reflection_emit_save:
+ Drop support for saving dynamically created
+ assemblies (AssemblyBuilderAccess.Save) in
+ System.Reflection.Emit.
- logging:
- Disables support for debug logging.
+ shadow_copy:
+ Disables support for AppDomain's shadow copies
+ (you can disable this if you do not plan on
+ using appdomains).
- com:
- Disables COM support.
+ simd:
+ Disables support for the Mono.SIMD intrinsics
+ library.
ssa:
Disables compilation for the SSA optimization
framework, and the various SSA-based
optimizations.
- generics:
- Generics support. Disabling this will not
- allow Mono to run any 2.0 libraries or
- code that contains generics.
-
+ --enable-llvm
+
+ This enables the use of LLVM as a code generation engine
+ for Mono. The LLVM code generator and optimizer will be
+ used instead of Mono's built-in code generator for both
+ Just in Time and Ahead of Time compilations.
+
+ See the http://www.mono-project.com/Mono_LLVM for the
+ full details and up-to-date information on this feature.
+
+ You will need to have an LLVM built that Mono can link
+ against
+
--enable-big-arrays
This enables the use arrays whose indexes are larger
ABI that we have exposed through the Mono development
cycle.
+ --enable-parallel-mark
+
+ Use this option to enable the garbage collector to use
+ multiple CPUs to do its work. This helps performance
+ on multi-CPU machines as the work is divided across CPUS.
+
+ This option is not currently the default as we have
+ not done much testing with Mono.
+
--enable-dtrace
On Solaris and MacOS X builds a version of the Mono
independent checkout) from the Mono module, that
directory is automatically configured to share the
same prefix than this module gets.
