+
-*** Snapshots
+ For up to date sources, it is recommended that you use the Mono
+ source code from either the
+ nightly snapshots or
+ the Anonymous CVS. 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
+ www.cygwin.com.
+
+ You can download Microsoft's .NET Framework SDK from
+
+ msdn.microsoft.com/downloads.
+
+ There are scripts to help build mono for both Unix and Windows. Get
+ mono-build.sh for Unix, or mono-build-w32.sh 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:
+
+
+ * 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)
+
- The daily snapshots are available here. 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.
- You might also want to track our development using the mono-cvs-list
- mailing list.
+** Mono Regression Test Suite
-
-*** Released and tested packages
+ You can get binaries for the Mono Regression Test Suite here
+
+
+** Building the software manually
+
+*** Download the required software.
+
+
+*** Install Cygwin and the GNU build tools, Microsoft's .NET Framework SDK and the precompiled GLIB 1.3 and pkg-config libraries.
+
+
+
+ * Install Cygwin.
+
+ * Install
+ Microsoft .NET Framework SDK.
+
+ * Change to the /usr/local directory
+ of your Cygwin installation.
+ Unzip the precompiled packages listed above.
+
+
+
+*** On Windows, to install and work on the compiler and the class libraries:
+
+
+
+ * If you downloaded the Mono
+ nightly snapshot
+ , untar the snapshot.
+
+ * Change directories to "mcs".
+
+ * Compile:

+
+
+ * If you downloaded the Mono

+
+ * Configure, compile and install:
+
+
+./configure --prefix=c:/mono
+make
+make install
+
+
+
+
+*** On Unix, to compile the mono runtime:
+
+
+
+ * Install pkg-config.
+
+ * Install glib 1.3. You can download it
+ from ftp.gtk.org. Maybe you need
+ to modify your ACLOCAL_FLAGS for pkg-config, for example if
+ your install prefix is /usr/local:
+
+export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/local/share/aclocal"
+
+
+ * If you downloaded the Mono
+ nightly snapshots
+ , untar the snapshot.
+

+*** Notes on compiling GLIB 1.3 and pkg-config from source:
+
+
+
+
+ * Some people observed problems with autoconf 2.52. Installing
+ autoconf 2.13 helped in those cases (don't forget to do a
+ `make maintainer-clean' after the update).
+
+ * Download, compile and install pkg-config from source.
