-** Sources
+*** Sources
- We provide both packaged and tested
- tarballs (those are known to compile and pass `make
- distcheck') as well as daily snapshots done
- at 10pm Boston Time
+ Stay up to date on the Mono team's development using the
+
+ mono-cvs-list mailing list. The CVS source code can also
+ be browsed here

-*** Snapshots
+
+ Mono 0.13
+
+ New packaged versions of the Mono C# compiler and Mono runtime
+ are now available. The latest version is 0.13.
+
+
+
+* Snapshots
+
+ Volunteers package up daily the sources:
+
+
- 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.
+
+ 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:
- You might also want to track our development using the mono-cvs-list
- mailing list.
+
+ * 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 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.
- At this point, you should look into using one of the nightly snapshots or getting the
- sources from Anonymous CVS
- as significant work has gone into Mono since our last stable
- release in September.
+ 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.
- We will be making a packaged release sometime in January.
+** Mono Regression Test Suite
+ You can get binaries for the Mono Regression Test Suite here
-** Installing the software
+** Building the software manually
- To install and work on the compiler and the class libraries,
- follow these instructions:
+*** Download the required software.
- To compile the mono runtime on windows:
-
- * Install CygWin first.
+*** Install Cygwin and the GNU build tools, Microsoft's .NET Framework SDK and the precompiled GLIB 1.3 and pkg-config libraries.
- * Install in /usr/local in your Cygwin world the following
- packages (compiled by Alex Graveley):
-
+ * Change to the /usr/local directory
+ of your Cygwin installation.
+ Unzip the precompiled packages listed above.
- If you want to compile things yourself you will need to compile and install:
+
+*** On Windows, to install and work on the compiler and the class libraries:
- * Install pkgconfig.
- (I had to change line 674 of
- pkgconfig-0.8.0/glib-1.2.8/gstrfuncs.c from
- extern char *strsignal (int sig); to

-
+ * If you downloaded the Mono
+ nightly snapshot
+ , untar the snapshot.
- * Install libiconv.
- If you dont have MS Visual C/C++ 4.0 or 5.0 or 6.0 you can also try
- the binary package available at here.
-
- * Install the newest glib (1.3 version). You can download it
- from here.
+ * Change directories to "mcs".
- * Unpack the mono distribution:
