After all you need the software if you - want to get in trouble :). - - RPMs or DEBs can be found at Baselabs <a href="http://mono.baselabs.org/index.php/software">http://mono.baselabs.org/index.php/software</a>. - - See <a href="http://www.go-mono.com/download">http://www.go-mono.com/download</a> for more information. - -Installing it: - - Here comes the real fun. This is what some people have claimed for as - a 'foolproff way to get started'. - - First, assume you have the packages. - You must know that: - - 1.- Mono can be compiled in Linux and Windows but mcs - cannot. Please don't write to the list telling that - you have downloaded the mcs-X.XX.tar.gz and that - you can't build it. It's a 'status' problem. The - mcs compiler can't be compiled under Linux yet. - This means, entering in mcs-X.XX and running 'make' - will show you something as: - - [jaime@localhost mcs-0.12]$ make - for i in jay nant mcs class nunit tools; do - \ (cd $i; make linux) || exit 1; \ - done - make[1]: Cambiando a directorio `/home/jaime/utils/mcs-0.12/jay' - make[1]: No se hace nada para `linux'. - make[1]: Saliendo directorio `/home/jaime/utils/mcs-0.12/jay' - make[1]: Cambiando a directorio `/home/jaime/utils/mcs-0.12/nant' - csc /out:NAnt.exe /recurse:*.cs - /bin/sh: csc: command not found - make[1]: *** [NAnt.exe] Error 127 - make[1]: Saliendo directorio `/home/jaime/utils/mcs-0.12/nant' - make: *** [linux] Error 1 - - - 2.- You need to get the packages refered in the Mono - download page. These are: glib 1.3, pkgconfig... - - Second, read all the READMEs and INSTALLs. - - For short, you will normally will be able to install the RPMs and DEBs as - usual: - - rpm -Uhv mono-X.XX_baselabs-XXXXXXXX.rpm - - See the BaseLabs page for a full explanation. - - Building your own binaries it's easy too!. - Unzip and untar the tarball (will work only for Mono, remember!!) - - tar -zxvf mono-X.XX.tar.gz - - Enter the directory where the sources reside: - - cd mono-X.XX - - Run the configure script: - - ./configure.in - - Then make the package: - - make - - Now you are able to install it: - - make install - - Remember once again. mcs cannot be compiled under Linux. You need a Windows system - where to build it. The only way for you to get the mcs in Linux without building - it by your own in a Windows machine (including the VMWare alternative) is to install - the binaries from the BaseLabs page. It's also important to say that there are - NUnit packages too in that site but that you probably won't need to care about that - if you are reading this document. - -Running it: - - If you want to compile a little program using the mcs, let's say "konnichiwa.cs" - do this: - - mcs konnichiwa.cs - - The output will depend on wether your program is compilable or not, if it is a - "RESULT: 0" will be printed in your gnome-terminal (or whatever 'console' you use). - You should see a file called "konnichiwa.exe" in the same directory (folder) where - the source (konnichiwa.cs) is. - - To run the binary you have to options. The most used is: - - mono konnichiwa.exe - - but it might be better to use this other approach instead (calling the interpreter): - - mint konnichiwa.exe - - That's it. The Mono mcs compiler allows you to perform more complicated compilations - and I will show an example using three source files. Suppose you have three files: - person.cs, employee.cs, Test.cs. The first one could contain an abstract class Person - while the second one could be the source for a concrete class derived from Person and - called Employee. The last one, Test.cs could be a simple class to show how the classes - work and it contains an entry point (the Main() method, signed with the appropiate - attributes 'public static' and the correct type 'void'). Then you could get the - Text.exe program by calling: - - mcs Test.cs person.cs employee.cs - - You might want to see my slides, source code and other material from the course on - CSharp I am preparing to teach at the University of Granada, Spain. If you are a newbie - HTH. - -A note about problems: - - First see the <a href="http://bugzilla.ximian.com">Ximian Bugzilla</a> page in order - to get know if the bug has already been reported. - - Second, read this document. - - Third, visit the mono mailing lists' archives and do a little research in there for - threads talking about the problems you are having. - - Fourth if you still cannot override the problem, contact the lists. - -Known problems: - - 1.- mcs fails to compile in Linux. - - sol. mcs cannot compile in Linux. Try to install the already made packages - from http://mono.baselabs.org/index.php/software - - 2.- mono fails to compile in my Linux box. - - sol. Uhg... a generic 'question'. Proceed as above. (note for geeks: GOTO: 1.-) - - 3.- I cannot install mono under RedHat 7.3. - - sol. Try to upgrade your libc6 packages. In general, check that you have the - right versions for the packages glib, pkgconfig, libc... - - 4.- I cannot compile mcs nor mono under Windows. Are you fooling me?. - - sol. No, we are not. Have you read carefully the <a href="http://www.go-mono.com">download</a> - page?. You need CygWin among other things. Check all of that before - trying to compile. - - |
