Hi all,
After much research, question-asking, and experimentation, I -think- I
have gotten a documented set of procedures for compiling from CVS on
Linux boxen.  Could somebody go over these and let me know if there's a
problem?  I'm sure that this probably has been gone over numerous times,
but for my own piece of mind, I just wanted to get an actual procedure
documented somewhere for future reference.  Sorry in advance if I
stepped on someone's toes.

Steps to compile Mono from CVS on Linux:

- Download mcs and mono from CVS
- cd <mono_base>/mcs/class/corlib.  Run make -f makefile.gnu.
- cd <mono_base>/mono.  Run autogen.sh (there's an error with automake,
at least on my install), then autoconf.
- Run configure --prefix=<your install dir>, then make, then make
install.
- cd <mono_base>/mcs/class/corlib.  Run make -f makefile.gnu install
prefix=<your install dir>
- cd <mono_base>/mcs.  Run make -f makefile.gnu, then make -f
makefile.gnu install prefix=<your install dir>

This -should- get you an updated Mono installation.
</instructions>

Thanks,
John
