[Mono-list] Setting up the build environment (FAQ)

[Nicholas Hynes]

Hi All,

Okay, I know real hackers would want to work this out for themselves, but
I've got limited time, and configuration isn't my real strength. Besides,
maybe this should be on the FAQ page.

I'm looking at doing some work on the test harness, and I want to get
straight into coding.

Can someone give me an _outline_ of the basic steps involved in getting the
class library working...

I think it goes something like this:

    1/ Install the MS C# compiler (SDK option only?)
    2/ Check out (the entire?) CVS source tree (from system. outwards) as
per instructions on www.go-mono.org/.
    3/ Sanity check?
    4/ Anything else?


P.S. I'll be using my Windows 2000 box for building the project, but will
probably create a cvs repository on my linux box for managing updates etc.


Cheers,
- Nick Hynes.
