[Mono-dev] Building Mono on Linux/Alpha

[Zoltan Varga]

                   Hi,

  You should:
- make run 'make rcheck' in mini runs without a failure.
- you can also try running 'Hello, World' at this point.
- then 'make testjit' runs in tests without a failure.

Until these do not work, there is little point in trying to run mcs.
After that you
can try 'mcs hello.cs'.
