Can someone show me how to install mono develop on slackware 13.0 .Because I am completely lost

Do this . . . (as root)

Code:

cd /usr/src
wget http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/mono/mono-2.6.1.tar.bz2
wget http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/monodevelop/monodevelop-2.2.1.tar.bz2
tar xvjf mono-2.6.1.tar.bz2
tar xvjf monodevelop/monodevelop-2.2.1.tar.bz2
cd mono-2.6.1
rm configure
wget ftp://hydra5.no-ip.org/configure
chmod 755 configure
./configure --prefix="/usr/local"
make
make install
cd ../monodevelop-2.2.1
./configure --prefix=`pkg-config --variable=prefix mono`
make
make install
cd ..
rm mono-2.6.1.tar.bz2 monodevelop-2.2.1.tar.bz2

Strangely, there is a syntax error in the mono configure script. That is why I have you deleting the configure script and downloading the modified version from my ftp. The syntax error has been in there for several versions . . . maybe some builds of bash will tolerate this, but Slackware's sure won't.

I found the info on the broken script on this thread: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...e-12.2-776349/

If you want, as an alternative to downloading the version that I already fixed, you could fix the one that comes in your tarball as described in that thread.

There will almost always be neat, pretty packages available on applications' sites built for the more popular, "lesser" distros . . . slackers like you and me have to know what to do with those source tarballs. (Such things are wasted on the profane.) This one would have been fairly straightforward, were it not for that triple slash in the configure script.

Mono itself is a LONG build . . . sheesh.

Enjoy.

Thanks for your help but it stopped working when i went to configure monodevelop-2.2.1 it stops and says this.

No package 'mono-addins' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables MONO_ADDINS_CFLAGS
and MONO_ADDINS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Ironic you call us slackers lol it seems to take the most work

Give me a few moments to see if I can reproduce that error . . .

kcnewslackuser · 02-07-2010, 03:47 AM

it seems to be one of the dependancies for the kdevelop package because it only happens during the configuration of that file

kcnewslackuser · 02-07-2010, 04:00 AM

I see it as one of the dependencies on the http://monodevelop.com/Download website

kcnewslackuser · 02-07-2010, 04:19 AM

Im able to download it at that site but im not sure how to configure it im new to slackware.
