[Mono-devel-list] HOWTO - Build mono, mcs, and gtk-sharp on w indows

Sun Feb 29 01:08:55 EST 2004

what's the difference of that and mono/web/mono-build-w32.sh?  shouldn't
that be the same?

but since last monday the window build has been broken anyway and nobody
seems to give a shit about it.

Could someone add this as a web page on www.go-mono.com
<http://www.go-mono.com>  somewhere please?

======================================================

Building mono, mcs, and gtk-sharp from CVS for windows

by Josh Gerdes

======================================================

I decided to write this guide to help those like myself who would like
to be able to build mono, mcs, and gtk-sharp on a windows platform.  I
have gathered information from various sources and I would like to thank
the following for their posts and information:

Giovanni Zito

Bernie Solomon

Daniel Morgan

Setting up the Environment and Dependencies

===========================================

1) Install the .NET SDK V1.1 from msdn.microsoft.com/downloads. I've put
this step here simply because previous instructions states to install
it. I'm don't know if and why this step is required. By the way, if you
have Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 installed on your system then you
can skip this step.

2) Install the latest cygwin setup (about 30MB). Start choosing the
default installation if you are not sure what packages you need. You'll
can always get the other missing packages later, if mono configure
script will require them. Be sure to get libiconv (not just libiconv2!).
I installed everything just to be safe.

3) Download and install the gtk+ dependencies to /usr/local:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gtk-win/GTK-Runtime-Environment-2.2.4
.1.exe

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gtk-win/GTK-Development-Environment-2
.2.4.1.exe

Note: The Runtime installer will delete the destination installation
directory before installing so it must be installed first.  This is
optional if you do not want to compile gtk-sharp.

4) Download and install the following dependencies packages and extract
to /usr/local:

http://www.go-mono.com/archive/pkgconfig-0.11-20020310.zip

http://www.go-mono.com/archive/glib-2.0.4-20020703.zip

http://www.go-mono.com/archive/glib-dev-2.0.4-20020703.zip

http://www.go-mono.com/archive/libiconv-1.7.zip

http://www.go-mono.com/archive/libiconv-dev-1.7-20020101.zip

http://www.go-mono.com/archive/libintl-0.10.40-20020101.zip

http://www.go-mono.com/archive/libgc-dev.zip

http://www.go-mono.com/archive/icu-2.6.1-Win32_msvc7.zip

5) Open a cygwin prompt and edit your profile "~/.bashrc" by adding the
following:

#Environment Variables for Mono

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/lib:$PATH"

export ACLOCAL_FLAGS="-I /usr/share/aclocal"

export CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I /usr/local/include"

export LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -L /usr/local/lib"

export CC="gcc -mno-cygwin"

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig"

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib"

export MONO_PATH="/usr/local/lib:$MONO_PATH"

export MONO_CFG_PATH="/usr/local/etc:$MONO_CFG_PATH"

#Environment variables for Mono CVS access

export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous at anoncvs.go-mono.com:/mono

export CVS_RSH=ssh

#Environment variables for .NET if not already in your Windows PATH

export
PATH="$PATH:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v1.1.4322"

export PATH="$PATH:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft.NET/SDK/v1.1/Bin"

6) Create the following script, name it icu-config and copy it to
/usr/local/bin.

#/bin/sh

ICU_ROOT=/usr/local/icu

case $1

in

--cppflags)

    echo "-I$ICU_ROOT/include"

    ;;

--ldflags)

    echo "-L$ICU_ROOT/lib -licuuc -licuin"

    ;;

--version)

    grep '\<U_ICU_VERSION\>' $ICU_ROOT/include/unicode/uversion.h | sed
-e 's/.*"\(.*\)".*/\1/'

    ;;

esac

7) Change the script permissions by running "chmod u+x
/usr/local/bin/icu-config".

8) Restart your cygwin environment

Downloading latest CVS

======================

1) Create a directory to store the source files in your home directory
("mkdir ~/src")

2) Go to the newly created directory ("cd src") 

3) Login to CVS by running "cvs login" you will be asked for a password
which can be left blank

4) Download the source 

            To get the source for the first time run the following:

                        cvs -z3 co mcs mono gtk-sharp

            After that you can just update the source by running the
following:

                        cvs -z3 update -dP mcs mono gtk-sharp

Building mono

=============

You are now ready to buld mono by running the following commands:

$ cd ~src/mono

$ ./configure --with-gc=boehm CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib

$ make

$ make install

Note: at the time of creating these instructions the CVS had some issues
so I used mono 0.30.1 source instead

Building mcs

=============

You are now ready to buld mcs by running the following commands:

$ cd ~/src/mcs

$ make

$ make install

Building gtk-sharp

=============

1) Download and install the libglade lib package to /usr/local/:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gladewin32/libglade-2.0.1-lib.zip

2) Download the libglade bin package and copy libglade-2.0-0.dll to
/usr/local/lib:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gladewin32/libglade-2.0.1-bin.zip

3) Edit /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libglade-2.0.pc and set the prefix
(prefix=/usr/local)

4) Download and rename libxml2.dll to libxml-2.0.dll and copy to
/usr/local/lib:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnuwin32/libxml2-2.4.12-bin.zip

5) Create the following script, name it libxml-2.0.pc and copy it to
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig.

prefix=/usr/local

exec_prefix=${prefix}

libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib

Name: Libxml2

Description: a XML parser

Version: 2.4.12

Libs: -L${libdir} -llibxml-2.0

6) Edit makefile.win32 located in your gtk-sharp (~/src/gtk-sharp) and
change the following path to point to the correct Microsoft .NET
Framework (I had v1.1 installed so it had the incorrect path initially).

CSC=$(ROOT)/microsoft.net/framework/v1.1.4322/csc.exe /d:WIN32

7) You are now ready to buld gtk-sharp by running the following
commands:

$ cd ~/src/gtk-sharp

$ make -f makefile.win32

8) Copy the newly created dlls to /usr/local/lib:

/atk/atk-sharp.dll

/gdk/gdk-sharp.dll

/glade/glade-sharp.dll

/glib/glib-sharp.dll

/glue/gtksharpglue.dll

/gtk/gtk-sharp.dll

/pango/pango-sharp.dll

Congratulations!  You should now have compiled mono, mcs, and gtk-sharp
successfully and have a working version of all of them located in
/usr/local.  Please note that these projects are constantly changing and
might not always build and these instructions most likely will need to
eventually be updated.  At least there is a starting point now.
