<p>CrashNerd: </p> <hr /> <div>The following packages and their dependencies are required to run OpenSim on a default Debian 4 netinstall:<br /> <br /> * mono<br /> * libmono-corlib2.0-cil<br /> * libmono-sqlite2.0-cil<br /> * libmono-system-web2.0-cil<br /> * libmono-microsoft8.0-cil<br /> * libmono-system-runtime2.0-cil<br /> * libmono-oracle2.0-cil (new dependency since r7587)<br /> <br /> Hint #1: It is possible to use Debian Etch, but you will need to add custom repositories for mono to work. However installing or upgrading to Lenny/Sid will enable you to use the standard debian repositories. This is a good thing.<br /> <br /> Hint #2: OpenSim will run on Mono 1.9.1, but seems to run a little better on Mono 2.0.1<br /> <br /> <br /> ''' Upgrading Etch to Lenny '''<br /> <br /> I culled this from the a a little post on go2linux http://www.go2linux.org/upgrading-debian<br /> <br /> To upgrade the Linux Debian Stable Etch to testing Lenny, just need to follow these two steps.<br /> <br /> 1. Edit sources.list<br /> <br /> sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list<br /> <br /> and change all words etch to lenny, or stable to testing<br /> <br /> 2. Update and upgrade<br /> <br /> sudo aptitude update<br /> <br /> sudo aptitude install apt dpkg aptitude<br /> <br /> sudo aptitude full-upgrade<br /> <br /> This will also work when moving from Lenny to Sid.<br /> <br /> Note: When I ran aptitude full-upgrade , I got a bunch of package configuration options - I took the safe option and just went with whatever it suggested. If you have no idea what you are doing (like me) then that's probably your best bet.<br /> <br /> ''' Getting the prerequisites '''<br /> <br /> Ok first you need a bunch of stuff to get started - then you need Mono 2.0.1 (trembles) or better...<br /> <br /> aptitude install subversion ruby<br /> aptitude install nant ( this gets you a bunch of the mono stuff anyway )<br /> aptitude install build-essential swig autoconf gawk mono-common binfmt-support bison libglib2.0-dev<br /> <br /> And a few more things...<br /> <br /> aptitude install libmono-microsoft8.0-cil<br /> aptitude install libmono-oracle2.0-cil<br /> <br /> <br /> ''' Install Mono 2.0.1 '''<br /> <br /> Yes... you know you wan't to do it... this is one way ( compile from source ) there are several others but this worked for me.<br /> <br /> wget http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/mono/mono-2.0.1.tar.bz2<br /> tar xf mono-2.0.1.tar.bz2<br /> cd mono-2.0.1<br /> ./configure --with-libgdiplus=yes<br /> make (you may see a bunch of warnings, but do what I did - ignore them)<br /> make install<br /> <br /> Ok cool, now type &quot;mono -V&quot; and you should see something like this:<br /> <br /> Mono JIT compiler version 2.0.1 (tarball)<br /> Copyright (C) 2002-2008 Novell, Inc and Contributors. www.mono-project.com<br /> TLS: __thread<br /> GC: Included Boehm (with typed GC)<br /> SIGSEGV: altstack<br /> Notifications: epoll<br /> Architecture: x86<br /> Disabled: none<br /> <br /> ''' Now for Opensim itself! '''<br /> <br /> Just do this:<br /> <br /> svn co http://opensimulator.org/svn/opensim/trunk opensim (this may take a few minutes)<br /> cd opensim<br /> ./runprebuild.sh<br /> nant<br /> <br /> nearly there...<br /> <br /> Make sure you rename the Opensim.ini.example file to Opensim.ini<br /> <br /> cd bin<br /> mono OpenSim.exe<br /> <br /> <br /> Enjoy :)</div>
