Let me preface this with the fact that I’m pretty new to Linux. I have pulled the Mono source and successfully built it on 32-bit Ubuntu. I was able to successfully take the binaries generated from a “make install” and copy them to a different Linux distribution and actually run a Mono app on that target. That seems like the wrong way to approach it though. I suspect I should be distributing an RPM file.
So I decided to try to build the RPM file today, and I’m having very little success. The first issue I had was that rpmbuild would give an “Unknown command: recommends” error. So I went into the spec fiel and commented that line out, just to see where it went from there. Now it complains that it can’t find mono-3.3.0-tar.bz2. I can only assume that I need to generate this file, but I’m not sure exactly how. Is there a script that will do it, or do I just tar up the installation? Is there any documentation on how to build an RPM starting with just a clean OS build, or at least from a system where Mono has been compiled and installed? -Chris
