IronRuby on Mono HOWTO Seo Sanghyeon 1. Getting Mono Previously, you had to build Mono from SVN. Instruction is still provided below in case it is needed again. But you can use Mono 1.9 release just fine. Reference: http://www.mono-project.com/AnonSVN svn co svn://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/mono svn co svn://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/mcs cd mono ./configure make make install If you built Mono from source, make sure pkg-config can find the built Mono. For example: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/mono/lib/pkgconfig" 2. Build IronRuby from SVN Tested version r112. You can use SVN's -r option to checkout or to update to the specified revision. svn co -r 112 http://ironruby.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk ironruby cd ironruby patch -p0 < patch-mono-r112 rake compile mono=1 mono build/mono_debug/ir.cmd
