* Software Availability
The Virtual Execution System is available in package `mono'.
Currently this contains a metadata library and the
disassembler. Please refer to our <a
href="runtime.html">Runtime</a> description for more details
on this part of the project.
The code for the C# compiler as well as the language error
test suite and the class library are in the `mcs' package, we
will move this later into `mono' itself.
In order to make mcs and the class libraries you will need a computer
running Windows with the <strong>GNU make tools</strong> from the
<strong>Cygwin</strong> environment, <strong>Microsoft's .NET Framework
SDK</strong>, <strong>GLIB 2.0</strong> and
<strong>pkg-config</strong>.
When installing Cygwin, don't forget to include
<tt>mingw-runtime</tt>. If you omit this, you will encounter
configure problems regarding not being able to generate
executables.
<a name="sources">
*** Sources
Stay up to date on the Mono team's development using the
<a href="http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-cvs-list">
mono-cvs-list</a> mailing list. The CVS source code can also
be browsed <a href="http://cvs.hispalinux.es/cgi-bin/cvsweb/?cvsroot=Mono#dirlist">here</a>
<a name="jun-7">
<b>Mono 0.12</b>
New packaged versions of the Mono C# compiler and Mono runtime
are now available. The latest version is 0.12.
<ul>
* <a href="archive/mono-0.12">Mono 0.12 release notes</a>
* <a href="archive/mcs-0.12.tar.gz">mcs-0.12.tar.gz</a>
Mono C# compiler with class library source code.
* <a href="archive/mono-0.12.tar.gz">mono-0.12.tar.gz</a>
Mono runtime.
</ul>
* Snapshots
Volunteers package up daily the sources:
<ul>
* <a href="http://www.atoker.com/mono">Debian Linux</a>
* <a href="http://mono.baselabs.org/index.php/software">Red Hat Linux</a>
* <a href="http://www.superin.formativ.net/mono/mono.htm">Windows</a> (works without cygwin!)
</ul>
<a name="snapshots">
For up to date sources, it is recommended that you use the Mono
source code from either the
<a href="http://www.go-mono.com/snapshots">nightly snapshots</a> or
the <a href="anoncvs.html">Anonymous CVS</a>. 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
<a href="http://www.cygwin.com">www.cygwin.com</a>.
You can download Microsoft's .NET Framework SDK from
<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads">
msdn.microsoft.com/downloads</a>.
There are scripts to help build mono for both Unix and Windows. Get
<a href="mono-build.sh">mono-build.sh</a> for Unix, or <a
href="mono-build-w32.sh">mono-build-w32.sh</a> 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:
<ul>
* 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)
</ul>
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.
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.
** Mono Regression Test Suite
You can get binaries for the Mono Regression Test Suite <a
href="archive/mono-tests.tar.gz">here</a>
<a name="install">
** Building the software manually
*** Download the required software.
<ul>
* Microsoft's .NET Framework SDK from

* Cygwin and the GNU Make tools from
<a href="http://www.cygwin.com">www.cygwin.com</a>.
Some people observed problems with autoconf 2.52. Installing
autoconf 2.13 helped in those cases.
* Precompiled GLIB 1.3 and pkg-config packages (and
their dependencies) by the <a href="http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32//index.html">GIMP for Windows</a> project from

</ul>
*** Install Cygwin and the GNU build tools, Microsoft's .NET Framework SDK and the precompiled GLIB 1.3 and pkg-config libraries.
<ul>
* Install <a href="http://www.cygwin.com">Cygwin</a>.
* Install <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads">
Microsoft .NET Framework SDK</a>.
* Change to the <strong>/usr/local</strong> directory
of your Cygwin installation.<br>
Unzip the precompiled packages listed above.
</ul>
*** On Windows, to install and work on the compiler and the class libraries:
<ul>
* If you downloaded the Mono
<a href="http://www.go-mono.com/snapshots">nightly snapshot
</a>, untar the snapshot.
* Change directories to <strong>"mcs"</strong>.
* Compile:
<pre>
<strong>make windows</strong>
</pre>
</ul>
*** On Windows, to compile the mono runtime:
<ul>
* If you downloaded the Mono
<a href="http://www.go-mono.com/snapshots">nightly snapshot
</a>, untar the snapshot.
* Change directories to <strong>"mono"</strong>.
* Configure, compile and install:
<pre><strong>
./configure --prefix=c:/mono
make
make install
</strong></pre>
</ul>
*** On Unix, to compile the mono runtime:
<ul>
* Install <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig">pkg-config</a>.
* Install glib 1.3. You can download it
from <a href="ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.3/glib-1.3.12.tar.gz">ftp.gtk.org</a>. Maybe you need
to modify your ACLOCAL_FLAGS for pkg-config, for example if
your install prefix is /usr/local:
<pre>
<strong>export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/local/share/aclocal"</strong>
</pre>
* If you downloaded the Mono
<a href="http://www.go-mono.com/snapshots">nightly snapshots
</a>, untar the snapshot.
* Change directories to <strong>"mono"</strong>.
* Configure, compile and install:
<pre><strong>
./configure
make
make install</strong>
</pre>
</ul>
*** Notes on compiling GLIB 1.3 and pkg-config from source:
<ul>
* 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 <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig">pkg-config</a> from source.
(I had to change line 674 of
<nobr><tt>pkg-config-0.8.0/glib-1.2.8/gstrfuncs.c</tt></nobr> from
<nobr><tt>extern char *strsignal (int sig);</tt></nobr> to
<nobr><tt>extern const char *strsignal (int sig);</tt></nobr>.
<pre><strong>
tar xzvf pkg-config-0.8.0.tar.gz
cd pkg-config-0.8.0
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install</strong>
</pre>
* Download, compile and install <a href="ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv/libiconv-1.7.tar.gz">libiconv</a> from source.<br>
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 <a
href="http://www.gimp.org/win32/libiconv-dev-20001007.zip">
http://www.gimp.org/win32/libiconv-dev-20001007.zip</a>.
* Download, compile and install the
<a href="ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.3/glib-1.3.12.tar.gz">
glib 1.3</a> from source.
