The Virtual Execution System is available in package `mono'.

href="runtime.html">Runtime</a> description for more details
on this part of the project.
test suite and the class library are in the `mcs' package, we
will move this later into `mono' itself.
- In order to make mcs and the class libraries you will need the
- GNU make tools. These may be obtained for the Windows
- environment from <a href="http://www.cygwin.com">cygwin.com</a>.
+ In order to make mcs and the class libraries you will need a computer
+ running Windows with the <strong>GNU make tools</strong> from the
+ <strong>Cygwin</strong> environment, <strong>Microsoft's .NET Framework
+ SDK</strong>, <strong>GLIB 2.0</strong> and
+ <strong>pkg-config</strong>.
- You will also need to get GLIB, from: <a

+ When installing Cygwin, don't forget to include
+ <tt>mingw-runtime</tt>. If you omit this, you will encounter
+ configure problems regarding not being able to generate
+ executables.

<a name="snapshots">
-*** Snapshots
+ For up to date sources, it is recommended that you use the Mono
+ source code from either the
+ <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/snapshots">nightly snapshots</a> or
+ the <a href="anoncvs.html">Anonymous CVS</a>. The nightly
+ snapshots are done every night at 10pm EST (Boston Time).
+
+ The nightly snapshots are not guaranteed to build, but most of the
+ time they should. They should give you a window to see what we are
+ up to.
+
+ You can download the GNU make tools and the Cygwin environment from
+ <a href="http://www.cygwin.com">www.cygwin.com</a>.
+
+ You can download Microsoft's .NET Framework SDK from
+ <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads">
+ msdn.microsoft.com/downloads</a>.
+
+ There are scripts to help build mono for both Unix and Windows. Get
+ <a href="mono-build.sh">mono-build.sh</a> for Unix, or <a
+ href="mono-build-w32.sh">mono-build-w32.sh</a> for Windows.
+ These scripts automate the installation of GLIB and pkgconfig
+ (building from source on Unix, and using binary packages
+ provided by the GIMP for Windows project on Windows.) To use
+ the script, follow these simple steps:
+
+ <ul>
+ * Save the script for your platform somewhere (e.g. /usr/local/bin)
+ * Make the script executable (i.e chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/mono-build.sh)
+ * Create a directory to hold the mono source, and the compiled binaries (e.g. mkdir ~/mono)
+ * Change to the new directory (i.e. cd ~/mono)
+ * run the script (i.e. /usr/local/bin/mono-build.sh)
+ </ul>
- The daily snapshots are available <a
- href="http://www.go-mono.com/snapshots">here</a>. These
- snapshots are done every day at 10pm EST (Boston Time).
+ The script requires wget on either platform, and building the
+ software requires make, gcc, automake, autoconf, and libtool.
+ You should install these packages from your distribution or
+ with the cygwin installer.
- They are not guaranteed to build, but most of the time they
- should. They should give you a window to see what we are up to.
+ The script will download required packages from
+ www.go-mono.com and do a cvs checkout of mono in the current
+ directory. The cvs server chosen defaults to anonymous cvs;
+ set your CVSROOT environment variable before running the script to
+ select a particular cvs server.
