Re: [Mono-list] Installing multiiple Versions of mono

Hi,

I currently have the same setup with you on my Mac, what i did was setup my .bash_profile with something like this:

#~/.bash_profile

test -r  ~/.monolatest && source  ~/.monolatest


#end ~/.bash_profile

~/.monolatest is nothing but an empty file which i can touch(touch) or remove(rm) depending on which environment i like to work with.

and in my ~/.monolatest, i place the path of my monolatest and all other necessary env vars

#~/.monolatest

export PATH=/path/to/monolatest/bin:$PATH
export ...
export ...

#end ~/.monolatest


cheers,
jonel

Thanks Jon

That cleared things up. Didn't know that there exists
a GAC in mono. Is mono using strongnamed assemblies?

One more question (remember i'm a newbie and learning
linux on my own)

Where can i set those enviroment variables (defaults)?

- .bashrc
- or profile.bashrc
- or rc.2,rc.3,... (runlevel scripts)
- or init.d
- somewhere else

I'm using putty with winxp to handle the
ubuntu-console so i don't wanna use any "click click
hooray!" stuff ;-)

i'm still a bit groggy with console commands but feel
this is the way to go.

Hi
I wanna use 1.0.4 (stable) and latest on the same

box.

I use Ubuntu 4.10. I've already compiled and

installed

1.0.4 (libgdiplus,mono,mcs,xsp,gtk# in this

particular

order) with the prefix /usr/local.
Now i'll download the latest tarball and
compile/install it too. Are there any pitfalls

when i

use ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/monolatest?
Are there any enviroment variables to set? if yes
where?


Of course there are pitfalls.  There's always
pitfalls. :-)

The primary pitfall is maintaining your sanity.
Since you have to
modify environment variables to switch between the
two versions of mono,
your entire build environment then depends on the
environment
variables.  Change environments, and things change
-- for example, CVS
mono won't build from Mono 1.0.4 (sorta), so if Mono
1.0.4 is found in
your path, you get lots of build errors about how
the runtime versions
differ.

Once you stay consistent with the environments, you
only need to worry
about the environment variables.  You'll need to
modify:

        MONO_PREFIX=/usr/local/monolatest
        export PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/bin:$PATH
        export

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$MONO_PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

        export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$MONO_PREFIX/lib

I do the same thing with my own build environment,
and things
work...when I remember to use the right environment.
:-)

You may also need to set MONO_GAC_PREFIX, so that
when you're using
"monolatest" you can continue to use the Mono
1.0.4-installed assemblies
(such as Gtk# 1.0.x when monolatest has Gtk# 1.9.x).
 Set
MONO_GAC_PREFIX to the prefix directory of your Mono
1.0.4 install:

        export MONO_GAC_PREFIX=/usr
          # or whatever the prefix of your 1.0.4 install is
