=== Section 1: Building Mono ===
Don't expect the .sln file to work. Just follow the standard build process.
The README is a good starting point, but I'll add the following, which started
as the standard simple process from the README, but bits and pieces have been
added over time, based on experience:
If you want to contribute to mono, don't clone mono sources. Instead, fork,
and then clone your fork. Later, you can submit a pull request.
cd to the directory where you cloned the sources.
Note: BuildDir must be absolute path. Not allowed to use ~ symbol. (I forget
why.)
export BUILDDIR=/Users/whatever/mono-build
(How many processors do you have? This speeds up "make -j $NUMPROC")
export NUMPROC=2
Note: --disable-bcl-opt is important and useful for debugging.
Note: --enable-nls=no might or might not be necessary on your system
depending on your system installed packages
Normally, use this build command: (But since you specifically said ubuntu
14.04, see below)
time ( test -d $BUILDDIR && rm -rf $BUILDDIR ; mkdir -p $BUILDDIR ;
./autogen.sh --prefix=$BUILDDIR --disable-bcl-opt --enable-nls=no && make -j
$NUMPROC && make install && echo "" && echo " Done" && echo "")
(Takes approx 30 minutes)
On some systems (including ubuntu14.04) you may need the alternate build
command:
time ( test -d $BUILDDIR && rm -rf $BUILDDIR ; mkdir -p $BUILDDIR ;
./autogen.sh --prefix=$BUILDDIR --disable-bcl-opt --enable-nls=no && make
get-monolite-latest && make -j $NUMPROC
EXTERNAL_MCS="${PWD}/mcs/class/lib/monolite/gmcs.exe" && make install && echo
"" && echo " Done" && echo "")
=== Section 2: Debugging Mono ===
Inside Xamarin Studio, create some dumb new project. By default only a single
runtime registered so the Project / Active Runtime menu item doesn't appear. I
had to go to Xamarin Studio / Preferences / .NET Runtimes / Add. Add the newly
built runtime environment. The system thinks a while, and then the Project /
Active Runtime menu becomes available, to select my newly compiled runtime.
Go to Xamarin Studio / Preferences / Debugger. And un-check the checkbox:
[_] Debug project code only; do not step into framework code
And now for example, I'm able to write an app with:
RSACryptoServiceProvider myrsa = new RSACryptoServiceProvider (3072);
myrsa.ExportParameters (includePrivateParameters: false);
And I'm able to Start Debugging. And step into the RSA code to see what it's
doing internally. Hooray! :-)
