Mono is a software platform designed to allow developers to easily create
|
|
|
|
|
cross platform applications. It is an open source implementation of
|
|
|
|
|
Microsoft's .Net Framework based on the ECMA standards for C# and the Common
|
|
|
|
|
Language Runtime. We feel that by embracing a successful, standardized
|
|
|
|
|
software platform, we can lower the barriers to producing great applications
|
|
|
|
|
for Linux.

Note:

- Mono build relies on a working Mono C# compiler to compile itself
|
|
|
|
|
(also known as bootstrapping).

|
If you don't have a working Mono installation, the build process would
|
|
|
|
|
use the 'monolite' distribution, which contains just enough to run the
|
|
|
|
|
'mcs' compiler.
|
|
|
|
|
This is considered a "slightly more risky approach" to build Mono, so
|
|
|
|
|
this SlackBuild uses a full featured precompiled Mono Compiler to
|
|
|
|
|
bootstrap.
