The above will pull hello.exe native program called "hello". Notice
that the produced image still contains the CIL image and no
precompilation is done.
+.PP
+In addition, it is possible to control whether mkbundle should compile
+the resulting executable or not. This is useful if you want to link
+additional libraries or control the generated output in more detail.
+For example, this could be used to link some libraries statically:
+.nf
+ $ mkbundle -o host.c -oo bundles.o --deps hello.exe
+
+ $ cc host.c bundles.o /usr/lib/libmono.a -lc -lrt
+.fi
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
+.I "-c"
+Produce the stub file, do not compile the resulting stub.
+.TP
+.I "-o filename"
+Places the output on `out'. If the flag -c is specified, this is the
+C host program. If not, this contains the resulting executable.
+.TP
+.I "-oo filename"
+Specifies the name to be used for the helper object file that contains
+the bundle.
+.TP
.I "-L path"
Adds the `path' do the search list for assemblies. The rules are the
same as for the compiler -lib: or -L flags.
+.TP "--config FILE"
+Specifies that a machine.config file must be bundled as well.
+Typically this is $prefix/etc/mono/1.0/machine.config or
+$prefix/etc/mono/2.0/machine.config depending on the profile that you
+are using (1.0 or 2.0)
.TP
.I "--nodeps"
This is the default: mkbundle will only include the assemblies that
.I "--keeptemp"
By default mkbundle will delete the temporary files that it uses to
produce the bundle. This option keeps the file around.
+.TP
+.I "--static"
+By default mkbundle dynamically links to mono and glib. This option
+causes it to statically link instead.
+.TP
+.I "--config-dir DIR"
+When passed, DIR will be set for the MONO_CFG_DIR environment variable
+.TP
+.I "-z"
+Compresses the assemblies before embedding. This results in smaller
+executable files, but increases startup time and requires zlib to be
+installed on the target system.
+.SH WINDOWS
+On Windows systems, it it necessary to have Unix-like toolchain to be
+installed for mkbundle to work. You can use cygwin's and install gcc,
+gcc-mingw and as packages.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+.TP
+.I "AS"
+Assembler command. The default is "as".
+.TP
+.I "CC"
+C compiler command. The default is "cc" under Linux and "gcc -mno-cygwin"
+under Windows.
.SH FILES
This program will load referenced assemblies from the Mono assembly
cache.
+.SH BUGS
+The option "--static" is not supported under Windows.
+Moreover, a full cygwin environment containing at least "gcc" and "as"
+is required for the build process. The generated executable does not
+depend on cygwin.
