+1. Compilation and Installation
+===============================
- mono/
- The core of the executable.
+ If you obtained this package as an officially released tarball,
+ this is very simple, use configure and make:
- metadata/
- The library to deal with executables and libraries for
- .NET
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
+ make
+ make install
- dis/
- CIL executable Disassembler
+ If you obtained this as a snapshot, you will need an existing
+ Mono installation. To upgrade your installation do:
- cli/
- Common code for the JIT and the interpreter.
+ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local
+ make fullbuild
- cil/
- Common Intermediate Representation, XML
- definition of the CIL bytecodes.
+2. Using Mono
+=============
- interp/
- Interpreter for CLI executables.
+ Once you have installed the software, you can run a few programs:
-* Using Mono
+ * runtime engine
- Once you have installed the software, you can run a few programs:
+ mono program.exe
+ or
+ mint program.exe
+
+ * C# compiler
+
+ mcs program.cs
+
+ * CIL Disassembler
monodis program.exe
- That will dump the bytecodes for program.exe. Monodis support
- a number of options that dumps various metadata tables
- (chapter 23 of the Partition III).
+ See the man pages for mono(1), mint(1), monodis(1) and mcs(2)
+ for further details.
- You can try the interpreter like this:
