+

+

+

+<ul>

+ <li>cygwin from <a href="http://www.cygwin.com/">here</a>  When installing Cygwin via setup.exe, 

+   by default binutils and other tools do not get installed; you have to make 

+   sure to select these items.  Just make

+   sure Base and Development are set to Install.</li>

+ <li>Mono 0.17 or later from <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/download.html">here</a>

+  You can use Windows Setup Wizard (NT/2000/XP).</li>

+ <li>GTK+ 2.0 (and dependencies).  You can obtain gtk+ 2.0 by either of the

+following:

+	<ul>

+		<li>You can get a Windows Installer at:

+          <a href="http://www.dropline.net/jade/download.html">here</a> </li>

+		<li>or get the separate binary and dev/lib packages at

+           at <a href="http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html">here</a> </li>

+        <li>or binary package from Dev-C++ site <a href="http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/packages/gtk.html">here</a> </li>

+		<li>or the source at <a href="http://www.gtk.org/">here</a> </li>

+     </ul>

+  </li>

+ <li>binary distriubtion of a current web browser

+  like Internet Explorer 4.0, Mozilla 1.0, or Netscape 7.0 which

+  includes things like msvcrt.dll.</li>

+ <li>Microsoft .NET Framework at

+

+<p>If you are running Windows 95/98/ME, then you will need Unicode support.

+Look in

+mono-list archives for information about how to get

+Mono to work on Windows 9x.

+<a href="http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2002-December/004158.html">here</a>

+

+<p>Environment Variables to set:

+<ul>

+<li>PATH - set to your mono installation bin and lib path.

+  For example, my mono installation prefix is:

+<pre>

+F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install

+</pre>

+  <p>So, I would set my PATH in the Windows Control Panel as:

+<pre>

+F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install/bin;F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install/lib</li>

+</pre>

+</li>

+<li>LD_LIBRARY_PATH - set to your mono installation lib path</li>

+<li>PKG_CONFIG_PATH - set to your mono installation lib/pkgconfig path, such

+ as,

+<pre>

+  F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install/lib/pkgconfig</li>

+</pre>

+

+ <p>If you got the gtk-sharp source, cd to the gtk-sharp directory, type:

+<pre>

+ ./autogen.sh --prefix=~/mono/install

+</pre>

+

+ <p>Set your --prefix= to whatever your mono installation prefix is located.

+ This will take awhile to go through the ./autogen.sh and ./configure...

+

+ <p>After that it finishes succesfully, you run make with the makefile.win32

+ like:

+<pre>

+ make -f makefile.win32

+</pre>

+

+ <p>After that finishes succesfully, you can copy to your mono installation lib

+ path like:

+<pre>

+ cp */*.dll ~/mono/install/lib

+</pre>

+</ul>

+

+<p>The pkg-config files for

+gtk+ 2.0 and dependencies will need to be set correctly if they haven't

+already been.

+

+<p>Look in your mono installation/lib/pkgconfig, such as,

+<pre>

+F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install/lib/pkgconfig

+</pre>

+

+<p>You will find files like: gtk+-2.0.pc

+

+<p>Edit the line that says

+

+<pre>

+ prefix=something

+</pre>

+

+<p>And set it to your mono installation prefix, such as,

+

+<pre>

+ prefix=F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install

+</pre>

+

+<p>Do this for all the .pc files in that directory.  If there are not any, then

+you will need to create them.  Or get them from somewhere like the dev

+packages at

+<a href="http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html">here</a>

-	<p>Eventually replace the PostgreSQL data provider in Mono
-	with <a href="http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/npgsql/projdisplay.php">Npgsql</a>.
-	Npgsql is a .Net Data Provider for PostgreSQL which implements 
-	the <a href="http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/protocol.html">PostgreSQL Frontend/Backend Protocol</a>.
-	Npgsql is implemented in 100% C#.  This provider was created by Francisco Figueiredo jr.
-	and has many programmers developing the provider.

+	<li>Have a working mono and mcs</li>
+

+<p>Where to get distributions of GTK# for Linux: TODO
+
+<p>Buidling on Linux:
+
+<ul>
+	<li>Get GTK# source from <a href="http://gtk-sharp.sourceforge.net">Gtk# Project</a>.</li>
+	<li>run ./autogen.sh --prefix=my_mono_installation_prefix</li>
+	<li>make</li>
+	<li>make install</li>
+</ul> 
+
+** GTK# On Windows
+
+<p>There is a Windows Installer for GTK# <a href="http://www.sport-huettn.de/mono/gtk-sharp-0.6-stable-2.exe">here</a>.

+
+<p>If you want to build GTK# yourself on Windows:

+

+<p>To build gtk# under windows, you will need the following:

+

+<ul>

+ <li>cygwin from <a href="http://www.cygwin.com/">here</a>  When installing Cygwin via setup.exe, 

+   by default binutils and other tools do not get installed; you have to make 

+   sure to select these items.  Just make

+   sure Base and Development are set to Install.</li>

+ <li>Mono 0.17 or later from <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/download.html">here</a>

+  You can use Windows Setup Wizard (NT/2000/XP).</li>

+ <li>GTK+ 2.0 (and dependencies).  You can obtain gtk+ 2.0 by either of the

+following:

+	<ul>

+		<li>You can get a Windows Installer at:

+          <a href="http://www.dropline.net/jade/download.html">here</a> </li>

+		<li>or get the separate binary and dev/lib packages at

+           at <a href="http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html">here</a> </li>

+        <li>or binary package from Dev-C++ site <a href="http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/packages/gtk.html">here</a> </li>

+		<li>or get Gtk4Win <a href="http://wingtk.sourceforge.net/index.html">here</a> </li>

+		<li>or the source at <a href="http://www.gtk.org/">here</a> </li>

+     </ul>

+  </li>

+ <li>binary distriubtion of a current web browser

+  like Internet Explorer 4.0, Mozilla 1.0, or Netscape 7.0 which

+  includes things like msvcrt.dll.</li>

+ <li>Microsoft .NET Framework at

+  <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?url=/downloads/sample.asp?url=/msdn-files/027/000/976/msdncompositedoc.xml&frame=true">here</a> </li>

+

+<p>If you are running Windows 95/98/ME, then you will need Unicode support.

+Look in

+mono-list archives for information about how to get

+Mono to work on Windows 9x.

+<a href="http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-list/2002-December/004158.html">here</a>

+

+<p>Environment Variables to set:

+<ul>

+<li>PATH - set to your mono installation bin and lib path.

+  For example, my mono installation prefix is:

+<pre>

+F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install

+</pre>

+  <p>So, I would set my PATH in the Windows Control Panel as:

+<pre>

+F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install/bin;F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install/lib</li>

+</pre>

+</li>

+<li>LD_LIBRARY_PATH - set to your mono installation lib path</li>

+<li>PKG_CONFIG_PATH - set to your mono installation lib/pkgconfig path, such

+ as,

+<pre>

+  F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install/lib/pkgconfig</li>

+</pre>

+

+ <p>If you got the gtk-sharp source, cd to the gtk-sharp directory, type:

+<pre>

+ ./autogen.sh --prefix=~/mono/install

+</pre>

+

+ <p>Set your --prefix= to whatever your mono installation prefix is located.

+ This will take awhile to go through the ./autogen.sh and ./configure...

+

+ <p>After that it finishes succesfully, you run make with the makefile.win32

+ like:

+<pre>

+ make -f makefile.win32

+</pre>

+

+ <p>After that finishes succesfully, you can copy to your mono installation lib

+ path like:

+<pre>

+ cp */*.dll ~/mono/install/lib

+</pre>

+</ul>

+

+<p>The pkg-config files for

+gtk+ 2.0 and dependencies will need to be set correctly if they haven't

+already been.

+

+<p>Look in your mono installation/lib/pkgconfig, such as,

+<pre>

+F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install/lib/pkgconfig

+</pre>

+

+<p>You will find files like: gtk+-2.0.pc

+

+<p>Edit the line that says

+

+<pre>

+ prefix=something

+</pre>

+

+<p>And set it to your mono installation prefix, such as,

+

+<pre>

+ prefix=F:/cygwin/home/DanielMorgan/mono/install

+</pre>

+

+<p>Do this for all the .pc files in that directory.  If there are not any, then

+you will need to create them.  Or get them from somewhere like the dev

+packages at

+<a href="http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html">here</a>

+<ul>
+	<li>Have a working mcs and mono</li>
+	<li>Make sure Mono.Data.SqliteClient.dll was built and is installed
+	in the same place as the mono class libraries.</li>
+	<li>If you do not have <a href"http://www.hwaci.com/sw/sqlite/download.html">SQL Lite</a>,
+	download it.  There are binaries for Windows and Linux.</li>
+	<li>There is a test named SqliteTest.cs found at mcs/class/Mono.Data.SqliteTest/Test</li>
+	<li>Has a connection string format of "URI=file:some/path".  For example, 
+	the connection string "URI=file:SqliteTest.db" will use the database file 
+	named SqliteTest.db, if it does not exist, the file will be created.</li>
