A lot of work has been done on this area in the last 12 hours by Martin
Baulig, Peter Williams and Alp Toker. First, update your mcs CVS module.

I will assume you already have a working mono/mcs setup such as one
acquired from http://www.atoker.com/mono/.

To build the compiler and class libraries in Linux, run:

    make -f makefile.gnu

To install them, run:

    make -f makefile.gnu install

You can also specify a prefix:

    make -f makefile.gnu install prefix=/opt

If you want to produce and distribute a monocharge tarball, run:

    make -f makefile.gnu dist

It's as easy as that!
