a. Build Requirements
---------------------
- To build Mono, you will need the following components:
-
- * pkg-config
-
- Available from: http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/pkgconfig
-
- * glib 2.4
-
- Available from: http://www.gtk.org/
-
On Itanium, you must obtain libunwind:

* libgdiplus
If you want to get support for System.Drawing, you will need to get
- Libgdiplus.
+ Libgdiplus. This library in turn requires glib and pkg-config:
+
+ * pkg-config
+
+ Available from: http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/pkgconfig
+
+ * glib 2.4
+
+ Available from: http://www.gtk.org/
* libzlib
make V=1

c. Building the software from GIT
---------------------------------
make install
+ You can verify your installation by using the mono-test-install
+ script, it can diagnose some common problems with Mono's install.
+
Failure to follow these steps may result in a broken installation.
- d. Common Configuration Options
- -------------------------------
+ d. Configuration Options
+ ------------------------
The following are the configuration options that someone
building Mono might want to use:
System.dll, System.Code.dll and System.Xml.Core.dll) and turn
on the LINQ extensions for the compiler.
+ --with-moon-gc=boehm,sgen
+
+ Select the GC to use for Moonlight.
+
+ boehm:
+ Selects the Boehm Garbage Collector, with the same flags
+ as the regular Mono build. This is the default.
+
+ sgen:
+ Selects the new SGen Garbage Collector, which provides
+ Generational GC support, using the same flags as the
+ mono-sgen build.
+
+ This defaults to `boehm'.
+
--with-libgdiplus=installed,sibling,<path>
This is used to configure where should Mono look for
directory is automatically configured to share the
same prefix than this module gets.
