* Software Availability
- The Virtual Execution System is available in package `mono'.
+ The Virtual Execution System is available in package `mono'.
+ Currently this contains a metadata library and the
+ disassembler. Please refer to our <a
+ href="runtime.html">Runtime</a> description for more details
+ on this part of the project.
- Currently the code for the C# compiler as well as the error
- test suite and the class library is in package `mcs', we will
- move this later into `mono'.

+** Binaries for other platforms.
+
+ Already daily volunteer's made binaries:
+
+ <ul>
+ * <a href="http://www.debianplanet.org/mono/">DebianPlanet</a>
+ * <a href="http://www.superin.formativ.net/mono/mono.htm">Windows</a> (works without cygwin!)
+ </ul>
+
+* Snapshots
+
+<a name="snapshots">
+
+ <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/snapshots">Nightly snapshots</a> of
+ the CVS repository are made every day at 10pm EST (Boston
+ Time). These are not guaranteed to build, they are just a
+ snapshot of the tree.
+
+ The <a href="anoncvs.html">anoncvs</a> mirrors provided by
+ Hispalinux are updated every six hours.
+
+* Compiling with scripts
+
+ 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 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. You should also take care of setting
+ the right environment variables as the PKG_CONFIG_FLAGS, etc.
+
+ The script will download required packages from
+ www.go-mono.com and do a cvs checkout of mono in the current
+ directory. <b>IMPORTANT!:</b> The cvs server chosen defaults to
+ anonymous cvs;
+ set your CVSROOT environment variable before running the script to
+ select a particular cvs server.
+
+<a name="install">
+** Building the software manually
+
+ You will need to obtain the Mono dependencies first: <a
+ href="http://www.gtk.org">glib 2.x</a> and
+ <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig">pkg-config</a>.
+
+*** Building on Linux
+
+ <ul>
+ Unpack the Mono runtime distribution:
+ <pre>
+ tar xzvf mono-X.XX.tar.gz
+ cd mono-X.XX
+
+ </pre>
+ <p>
+
+ Then configure, compile and install:
+
+ <pre>
+
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
+ make
+ make install</pre>
+
+ This will give you a runtime, C# compiler and runtime
+ libraries.
+
+ If you want to recompile the runtime and the compiler,
+ follow these steps, first unpack the MCS package:
+
+ <pre>
+ tar xzvf mcs-X.XX.tar.gz
+
+ cd mcs-X.XX
+ </pre>
+
+ Then use the following command to compile and install:
+
+ <pre>
+
+ make -f makefile.gnu install prefix=/usr/local
+ </pre>
+
+ You can change /usr/local to something else if you want.
+ </ul>
+
+*** On Windows, to install and work on the compiler and the class libraries:
+
+**** Install Cygwin and the GNU build tools, Microsoft's .NET Framework SDK and the precompiled GLIB 2.0 and pkg-config libraries.
+
+ <ul>
+
+ * Install <a href="http://www.cygwin.com">Cygwin</a>.
+
+ * Install <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads">
+ Microsoft .NET Framework SDK</a>.
+
+ * Change to the /usr/local directory
+ of your Cygwin installation.<br>
+ Unzip the precompiled packages listed above.
+
+ </ul>
+ <ul>
+
+ * If you downloaded the Mono
+ <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/snapshots">nightly snapshot
+ </a>, untar the snapshot.
+
+ * Change directories to "mcs".
+
+ * Compile:
+
+ <pre>
+ make
+ </pre>
+ </ul>
+
+*** On Windows, to compile the mono runtime:
+
+ <ul>
+
+ * If you downloaded the Mono
+ <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/snapshots">nightly snapshot
+ </a>, untar the snapshot.
+
+ * Change directories to "mono".
+
+ * Configure, compile and install:
+ <pre>
+ ./configure --prefix=c:/mono
+ make
+ make install
+ </pre>
+
+ </ul>
+
+* Software resources and notes
+
+ The required and additional software can be downloaded here:
+
+ * Microsoft's .NET Framework SDK from
+ <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads">
+ msdn.microsoft.com/downloads</a>.
+
+ * Cygwin and the GNU Make tools from
+ <a href="http://www.cygwin.com">www.cygwin.com</a>.
+ Some people observed problems with autoconf 2.52. Installing
+ autoconf 2.13 helped in those cases.
+
+ * Precompiled GLIB 2.0 and pkg-config packages (and
+ their dependencies) by the <a href="http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32//index.html">GIMP for Windows</a> project from

+*** Notes on compiling GLIB 2.0 and pkg-config from source:
+
+
+ <ul>
+
+ * Some people observed problems with autoconf 2.52. Installing

+ `make maintainer-clean' after the update).
+
+ * Download, compile and install <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig">pkg-config</a> from source.
+ (I had to change line 674 of
