[Mono-list] Building from CVS

[Daniel Morgan]

mono in cvs only contains the JIT an interpreter; it does not contain the
mcs C# compiler.
mcs in cvs has the mcs C# compiler, class libraries, and tools.

Try here for the mcs binaries:

http://www.gnome-db.org/~gonzalo/mono/

and get the latest monocharge tarball there.
Untar the tarball.
It has a mcs.exe file which needs to be copied to your mono install bin
directory.
It has *.dll files which need to be copied to your mono install lib
directory.

Typically, this would be ~/mono/install/bin and ~/mono/install/lib

Hi,

I successfully built mono from CVs, but all the files in the lib/ directory
have length 0, and when trying to build mcs, it fails
-rw-r--r--    1 daniel   daniel          0 Nov 24 19:01 System.Xml.dll
-rw-r--r--    1 daniel   daniel          0 Nov 24 19:01
System.Web.Services.dll
-rw-r--r--    1 daniel   daniel          0 Nov 24 19:01 System.Web.dll

It is my understanding that these libraries only build on Windows currently
and that I need to get binaries from somewhere and copy them there.

But I cannot find those binaries anywhere:
http://mono.baselabs.org seems to be down
http://www.debianplanet.org/mono/  has not been updated since august and
when installed it complains there's a mistmach, same happens with the
mono-0.16 binaries
http://www.superin.formativ.net/mono/mono.htm  gives a 404

I have used google but cannot find a place where to download the binaries.
So, how do people who build from CVS on Linux get those libraries?
Am I missing any step and it is indeed possible to build them on Linux?

Thanks

Daniel
