Yesterday I successfully installed Mono Beta 1 and MonoDevelop 0.3 on FC2. Since nobody else decribed this process, I'll share it with you. First, I wanted to minimize packages I had to build. So I tried using most of FC1 packages. As a sidenote: I love Debian, and although FC2 test 3 seems to detect hw on my laptop better, I still wish it had the same packaging system as Debian: also, Gentoo is perfect for developers.
BINARY PACKAGES
1. Add section to /etc/yum.conf pointing to http://www.go-mono.com/archive/beta1/fedora-1-i386/
2. Install all packages from this repository using #yum install
3. After install I wanted to install MonoDevelop. From this step you'll need some source packages:
SOURCE TARBALLS
http://www.monodevelop.com/tutorials/package_install.aspx you DO NOT NEED:
ORBit2 (FC2 has later version), mono 0.91 (you already installed binaries), you DO NEED gtksourceview (also get gnomeprint, gnomeprintui tarballs from gnome: google for them, i use 2.6.0 versions of these tarballs), gtkmozembed, gtk-sharp, monodoc, gtksourceview-sharp, gecko-sharp. Follow MonoDevelop 0.3 instructions from the URL above.
MonoDevelop comes up.
Missing pieces: NAnt and Bamboo prevalence don't seem to build under mono beta 1.
