Manually for the first time.
-
- Note1: Don't look for the Mono BaseLabs RPMs; they are not providing it
- anymore.
- Note2: You will find that you can get binaries for the gtk-sharp
- package too.
+ (which is an easy way to get the latest CVS information)
-
- 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 anoncvs mirrors provided by Hispalinux are updated every six
- hours.
-
- 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.

+* Compiling with scripts
There are scripts to help build mono for both Unix and Windows. Get
mono-build.sh for Unix, or here
-
** Building the software manually
+ You will need to obtain the Mono dependencies first: glib 2.x and
+ pkg-config.
+
*** Building on Linux
+ Unpack the Mono runtime distribution:
+
+ tar xzvf mono-X.XX.tar.gz
+ cd mono-X.XX
+
+
+
- You can build mono and mcs in Linux but to do that be
- sure to obtain the corlib.dll and install it before
- trying to compile.
+ Then configure, compile and install:
- In linux be sure you get glib2.0
- (>= 2.0.4, 2.0.6
- recomended) and pkg-config 0.80.
- Also the corresponding development packages for those as
- well as the GNU Build Tools (make, autoconf...).
- Then download the mono packages and compile them.
- You must start compiling mcs and then mono.
- Be sure you set all the environment variables before
- compiling. You can use pkg-config --list-all to see
- if you forgot to set some of them.
+
+
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
+ make
+ make install
- Normally you should enter:
- export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/local/share/aclocal"
- if your install prefix is /usr/local.
+ This will give you a runtime, C# compiler and runtime
+ libraries.
- If you downloaded the Mono nightly snapshots, untar the
- snapshot.
+ If you want to recompile the runtime and the compiler,
+ follow these steps, first unpack the MCS package:
- Change directories to "mcs".
+
+ tar xzvf mcs-X.XX.tar.gz
+
+ cd mcs-X.XX
+
- Configure, compile and install:
+ Then use the following command to compile and install:
- ./configure
- make
- make install
+
+ make -f makefile.gnu install prefix=/usr/local
+
- Do the same in the "mono" directory.
+ You can change /usr/local to something else if you want.
