+
+1. Compilation and Installation
+===============================
+
+ 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 do:
+
+ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local
+ make fullbuild
+
+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.

-* Using Mono
-
- Once you have installed the software, you can run a few programs:
-
- 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).
-
- You can try the interpreter like this:
-
- mono-int program.exe
+ arch/
+ Architecture specific portions.
