CentOS 5.2 Build Instructions

The following process worked for me, please feel free to improve it :)

NB In progress do not follow these instructions yet!!

From a fresh install:

 # yum update
 # sudo apt-get install subversion nant libgdiplus ruby
 # aptitude install build-essential swig autoconf gawk mono-common binfmt-support bison pkg-config libglib2.0-dev

Build and install mono 2.0.1

1. wget http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/mono/mono-2.0.1.tar.bz2
2. tar xf mono-2.0.1.tar.bz2
3. cd mono-2.0.1
4. ./configure --with-libgdiplus=yes
5. make (chuckled at the "Function Emit Trampolines bit)
6. make install
