+1. Compilation and Installation
+===============================
+
+ a. Build Requirements
+ ---------------------
+
+ To build Mono, you will need the following components:
+
+ * pkg-config
+
+ Available from: http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/pkgconfig
+
+ * glib 2.0
+
+ Available from: http://www.gtk.org/
+
+ Optional dependencies:
+
+ * ICU library
+
+ http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/index.html
+
+ You will need this one to get complete support for the international
+ features of the .NET Framework.
+
+ * Cairo and libgdiplus
+
+ If you want to get support for System.Drawing, you will need to get
+ both Libgdiplus and Cairo.
+
+ b. Building the Software
+ ------------------------
+
+ If you obtained this package as an officially released tarball,
+ this is very simple, use configure and make:
+
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
+ make
+ make install
+
+ If you obtained this as a snapshot, you will need an existing
+ Mono installation. To upgrade your installation, unpack both
+ mono and mcs:
+
+ tar xzf mcs-XXXX.tar.gz
+ tar xzf mono-XXXX.tar.gz
+ cd mono-XXXX
+ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local
+ make fullbuild
+
+ c. Upgrade from CVS
+ -------------------
+
+ If you are upgrading from CVS you will need an existing Mono installation.
+ First verify that you have a working installation:
+
+ echo 'class X { static void Main () { System.Console.Write("OK");}}' > x.cs
+
+ Compile:
+
+ mcs x.cs
+
+ And run:
+
+ mono x.exe
+
+ If you get the output `OK' and no errors, you are ready to start your CVS upgrade.
+
+ First, make sure that you have up-to-date mcs and mono sources:
+
+ cvs co mono mcs
+
+ Then, go into the mono directory, and configure:
+
+ cd mono
+ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local
+
+ Then compile using the special target `fullbuild':
+
+ make fullbuild
+
+ This step will compile and install at the same time.
+
+ Failure to follow these steps will result in a broken installation.
+
+
+2. Using Mono
+=============
+
+ Once you have installed the software, you can run a few programs:
+
+ * runtime engine
+
+ mono program.exe
+ or
+ mint program.exe
+
+ * C# compiler
+
+ mcs program.cs
+
+ * CIL Disassembler
+
+ monodis program.exe
+
+ See the man pages for mono(1), mint(1), monodis(1) and mcs(2)
+ for further details.
