[Mono-list] How to compile Mono as generic linux installer package

[Timotheus Pokorra]

Hello Daniel,

I cannot imagine how a single tar file would work for different glibc versions.
Perhaps back then there was only 32 bit? that would cause problems
today with 64 bit and 32 bit around.

I maintain mono packages on the opensuse build server, for several
distributions (CentOS, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE).
https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/home:tpokorra:mono

My package for mono is quite simple, and installs everything to one
directory: /opt/mono
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:tpokorra:mono/mono/mono-opt.spec?expand=1
You could install that package on one machine and tar the directory
/opt/mono and see if that works on several machines.

installation instructions generated by OBS:
http://software.opensuse.org/download/package?project=home:tpokorra:mono&package=mono-opt

hope this helps,
  Timotheus
