[Mono-list] running two different versions on mono on one box?
I have a need to keep one particular older version of mono on computer, because it's included in a system that I have deployed and need to support, and it not convenient to upgrade those environments at this time, but yet still update applications written against that older version of mono. But, I'd like to run the newest stable version too on my machine. Write now i do this by having a script, a pre-script/post-script that moves the mono binary, libs and /etc/mono to the version I want, runs the program, and then changes it back. There must be an easier way? to selectively run a mono app against a particular mono version, and do so with different versions on the same machine? I am thinking there is a set of environment variables? I can dig on it, but figuring someone can probably post there sol'n in 2 seconds. -tl ___ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
Re: [Mono-list] running two different versions on mono on one box?
Different versions of Mono or even multiple instances of the same version can be installed on different prefixes. The easiest thing to do is to install multiple Mono versions to different locations and execute the mono binary you want to use. It will find it's own class library and GAC.

Hello, I'd like to run the newest stable version too on my machine. Write now i do this by having a script, a pre-script/post-script that moves the mono binary, libs and /etc/mono to the version I want, runs the program, and then changes it back. You compile Mono to be installed in a particular prefix, like this: ./configure --prefix=/mono (Thats what I use), so you end up with a Mono in /usr/bin/mono and another in /mono/bin/mono. Then you run a script like this to switch from the standard system mono, to the mono installed in /mono: bash$ source setup-mono The source command there is important, then the setup-mono file looks like this: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/mono/lib export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/mono/include export ACLOCAL_PATH=/mono/share/aclocal export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/mono/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig PATH=/mono/bin:$PATH PS1=mono$ Miguel. ___ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
