Sorry for cross posting but I think I should have posted this in the dev forum in the first place.
I'm a .NET Windows guy and not a guru on Linux but with Justin Malcom's help I have the latest 2.8.1 mono installed on an older RHEL45 dev system and it seems to be working quite well and is quite fast. In order for me to be able to run on our prod system I would like a minimal runtime only install or identify what I can minimally copy from our dev machine. I won't be allowed to add all the source and do the large build on prod like I did on dev. All I want on dev or prod, is the runtime for command line programs and the debugger. No compilers, probably no other tools, no web or gui stuff - I only need to be able to run and debug command line pgms and have the typical common non-gui non-web class libraries available. Ideally I could pick and choose what I wanted to build and/or install. I was somewhat amazed at how much stuff was installed. Ideally it would have been isolated into a /mono/bin directory instead of adding to /usr/bin. Perhaps the configure program's --prefix option would do that? I did reduce requirements somewhat by running configure with the "--with-libgdiplus=no" option as below to eliminate install failing since I did not have the gdi prereq, but I am hoping for some suggestions on how to really pare it down. ./configure --with-libgdiplus=no --prefix=/usr &&make && make install Thanks, Dave -- View this message in context: http://mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/How-can-I-build-a-minimal-mono-runtime-system-tp3093919p3093919.html Sent from the Mono - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Mono-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list
