Basic Installation
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
The Mono project has developed mono, a CLI runtime. The build process
|
|
of each of these depends on nothing more than a C compiler and glib2.
|
|
|
|
However, to provide a working runtime environment, these programs must
|
|
be supplemented by the class libraries, which are written in C#. This
|
|
package contains the components written in C#: class libraries,
|
|
compilers and tools.
|
|
|
|
*********************************************************************
|
|
* *
|
|
* NOTICE *
|
|
* *
|
|
* Unless you are developing the class libraries, you should *
|
|
* not need to do any build steps in this directory. *
|
|
* *
|
|
* Go to ../mono and read the README file to compile and *
|
|
* install. *
|
|
* *
|
|
* ../mono is where you have your `mono' source download *
|
|
* *
|
|
*********************************************************************
|
|
|
|
If you only want to build a snapshot or a fresh checkout of the
|
|
sources, you should go into the `mono' sibling directory and issue the
|
|
make command, like this:
|
|
|
|
cd ../mono
|
|
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
The compilation is bundled with the build due to dependencies on the
|
|
class libraries on the runtime.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
If you want to change the configuration options for the build process,
|
|
place your configuration options in build/config.make
|
|
|
|
A list of variables that control the build are listed in the file
|
|
build/config-default.make.
|
|
|
|
More About the Build System
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
More information is found in build/README.*. Here's a quick rundown
|
|
of the features:
|
|
|
|
* Profile support. 'make PROFILE=profilename' or 'export
|
|
PROFILE=profilename ; make' will work. Profiles are defined
|
|
in build/profiles/profilename.make ;
|
|
|
|
* Important variables are shared among makefiles now; you can
|
|
edit build/config.make (see build/config-default.make for a
|
|
template) and give global settings, or just have a much
|
|
saner time of writing new makefiles.
|
|
|
|
* Response files, stamps, and other build trivia now all land
|
|
in build/deps/, making the library build directories
|
|
cleaner.
|
|
|
|
* Test libraries now live in class/Library/Library_test.dll,
|
|
not class/Library/Test. 'make test' will build the test DLL,
|
|
'make run-test' will actually run the nunit tests.
|
|
|
|
* Standardized recursive targets: all, clean, install, test,
|
|
run-test. Read build/README.makefiles for definitions of
|
|
what they should do
|
|
|
|
* (Relatively) sane 'make dist' target; 'make distcheck'
|
|
support;
