Compilation and Installation
============================
This will download and place the files appropriately so that you can then
just run:
- make EXTERNAL_MCS=${PWD}/mcs/class/lib/monolite/basic.exe
+ make
The build will then use the files downloaded by `make get-monolite-latest`.
You can run the mono and mcs test suites with the command: `make check`.
Expect to find a few test suite failures. As a sanity check, you
-can compare the failures you got with [https://wrench.mono-project.com/Wrench/](https://wrench.mono-project.com/Wrench/)
-and [http://jenkins.mono-project.com/](http://jenkins.mono-project.com/).
+can compare the failures you got with [https://jenkins.mono-project.com/](https://jenkins.mono-project.com/).
You can now install mono with: `make install`
Directory Roadmap
=================
+* `acceptance-tests/` - Optional third party test suites used to validate Mono against a wider range of test cases.
+
* `data/` - Configuration files installed as part of the Mono runtime.
* `docs/` - Technical documents about the Mono runtime.
* `scripts/` - Scripts used to invoke Mono and the corresponding program.
-* `../olive/` - Incubation code from [Olive](https://github.com/mono/olive).
-
- * If the directory ../olive is present (as an
-independent checkout) from the Mono module, that
-directory is automatically configured to share the
-same prefix than this module gets.
-
Contributing to Mono
====================
* `--with-gc=[included, boehm, none]` - Selects the default Boehm
garbage collector engine to use.
- * *included*: (*slighty modified Boehm GC*) This is the default
+ * *included*: (*slightly modified Boehm GC*) This is the default
value for the Boehm GC, and it's the most feature complete, it will
allow Mono to use typed allocations and support the debugger.
* This defaults to `included`.
+* `--with-cooperative-gc`
+
+ * If you pass this flag the Mono runtime is configured to only use
+ the cooperative mode of the garbage collector. If you do not pass
+ this flag, then you can control at runtime the use of the
+ cooperative GC mode by setting the `MONO_ENABLE_COOP` flag.
+
* `--with-tls=__thread,pthread`
* Controls how Mono should access thread local storage,
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.
+ * This option is not currently the default on OSX
+as it runs into issues there.
+
+ * This option only applies to the Boehm GC.
* `--enable-dtrace`
The desired output diff is a change in `.gitmodules` to reflect the
change in the remote URL, and a change in /<submodule> where you see
the desired change in the commit hash.
