1. Hi there…

   I have a problem – I do this

   ./mono_build.sh -v 2.10 -p ~/mono libgdiplus mono gtk-sharp mono-tools

   and yet I get the error “-bash: ./mono_build.sh: Permission denied”.

   Any ideas?

2. Make sure mono_build.sh is executable, try

   chmod +x mono_build.sh

3. I do this :

   wget –no-check-certificate https://github.com/firegrass/mono-installer-script/raw/master/mono_build.sh
   chmod 755 mono_build.sh
   ./mono_build.sh -v 2.10 p ~/mono -m libgdiplus llvm mono gtk-sharp xsp mod_mono mono-basic mono-addins gtkmozembed-sharp webkit-sharp gnome-sharp gnome-desktop-sharp mono-tools

   And the script failed for xsp…

   /bin/bash /home/sylvain/mono-src/xsp/install-sh -d
   /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 Mono.WebServer.zip Mono.WebServer.tree Mono.WebServer.source
   /usr/bin/install: target `Mono.WebServer.source’ is not a directory
   make[3]: *** [install-data-local] Error 1
   make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/sylvain/mono-src/xsp/docs/Mono.WebServer’
   make[2]: *** [install-am] Error 2
   make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/sylvain/mono-src/xsp/docs/Mono.WebServer’

   make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sylvain/mono-src/xsp/docs’
   make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1
   – ERROR: xsp failed, press enter to continue

   Any idea ?

   Thx

4. @Sylvain:

   Not sure, I will test and get back to you

   You can test yourself by doing something like…

   cd ~/mono-src/xsp
   git pull
   source mono-2.10-environment
   ./configure --prefix=~/mono
   make

5. sylvain@ubuntu:~/mono-src/xsp$ git pull
   Already up-to-date.

   [mono-2.10] ~/mono-src/xsp @ ./configure –prefix=~/mono
   configure: error: expected an absolute directory name for –prefix: ~/mono

   without that, the build works

   but what to do next ?

   (newbie in mono and installation under linux)

   Thanks

6. Hi Patrick,

   Thank you for this script, it will be very useful.
   Used the script for a first-time install of mono 2.10.

   1. At the end of the script it recommends:
   To start a mono-2.10 environment, run: source mono-2.10-env
   I think this should be:
   source mono-2.10-environment

   2. It looks as if monodevelop has a dependency on Mono.Addins

   mono-2.10 monodevelop

   gives an error
   Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly ‘Mono.Addins, Version=0.4.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0738eb9f132ed756′ or one of its dependencies.
   File name: ‘Mono.Addins, Version=0.4.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0738eb9f132ed756′
   Missing method get_IsInitialized in assembly /usr/lib/monodevelop/bin/MonoDevelop.exe, type Mono.Addins.AddinManager

7. Patrick, I found this post via Dan Quirk.

   What a nice work you did!

8. Command:
   ./mono_build.sh -v 2.10

   Error:
   http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/569861/

   Tip:
   Add the usage & command line options to the README

9. So because the the error above, I can’t exclude the mono env.

   Command:
   ./mono_build.sh -v 2.10 monodevelop

   Ater command, error:
   http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/569868/

   After:
   cd ~/mono-src/xsp
   git pull
   source mono-2.10-environment
   ./configure –prefix=/home/melroy/mono-src/mono
   make

   Still the same error:
   http://pastebin.com/5HBRAqPg

   I think that is the source of the problem.

10. Sorry to post ANOTHER message, but I found the something with coincidence in the mono_build.sh

    I added
    INSTALLATION_DIR=/opt/mono-2.10/lib/monodoc/sources

    in:
    /mono-src-$VERSION/xsp/docs/makefile.am

    I used
    cd ~/mono-src/xsp
    git pull
    source mono-2.10-environment
    ./configure –prefix=/home/melroy/mono-src/mono
    make

    But still the same error as above.

11. I just want to say thank you!

    I’ve been using Ubuntu or Debian for a while and have been looking forward to ASP.Net development. Yours is the first approach I’ve encountered that worked without an associated nightmare of tuning and fiddling.

    Thanks for all your hard work!

12. Bless you sir. I have been annoyed at being stuck on Mono 2.4, and I’m hopeful that you’ve gotten me past that roadblock. Since about 85% of my development targets Mono, I’ve felt like I was being denied the opportunity to use — or even learn — the more recent C# features. So it’s great to have this easy-to-run way of getting the parallel installation up and running. Thanks so much.

13. I downloaded and ran your script on Ubuntu 10.10

    I get the following error:
    user@ubuntu1010desktop:~/Desktop$ sh mono_build.sh -v 2.8 -a
    mono_build.sh: 103: [[: not found
    mono_build.sh: 103: 2.8: not found
    mono_build.sh: 103: 2.8: not found
    mono_build.sh: 103: 2.8: not found
    – Error: Only master, 2.10, 2.8, 2.6 versions supported

    Any ideas?

14. Try

    ./mono_build.sh -v 2.8 -a

    or

    bash mono_build.sh -v 2.8 -a

15. if I try

    $ source mono-2.10-environment
    $ mono-2.10 mono -V
    Mono JIT compiler version 2.6.7 (Debian 2.6.7-3ubuntu1)

    any idea ?

    Regards
