Now that IronPython2 is out, wondering about IronPython on Mono...

Currently you need Mono SVN (both to run and to compile). Using SVN
r120972 below.
Any idea what version of Mono that is? Does IP2 build with Mono 2.2? It
would be great to put out a IPCE r8 for IP2.
Also, what would be the matching versions of IronRuby that would work with
IP on Mono? I see that DevHawk has a DLR nightly build that comes with Ruby
and Python:
http://nightlybuilds.cloudapp.net/rss.ashx?project=dlr
but the early builds seem to be empty (I've sent Harry a note about that).
The latest versions of those builds don't quite work with Mono 2.0, but
perhaps Mono 2.2?
Answering part of my own question: Mono 2.2 that comes with OpenSuse is
not capable of running the IP from the DLR nightly builds, versions
10209 and later (earlier versions are unavailable there).
So, I'm still in quest of a IP/IR combo that I can run on mono. I will
try building mono from SVN next...

Thanks for any assistance!

The binary runs fine.
IronPython includes its own copy of ExtensionAttribute, but this
doesn't seem to work with Mono C# compiler: that is, extension methods
don't get recognized as extension methods. This causes trouble where
MetaObject is defined in Microsoft.Scripting.Core.dll, and its
extensions are defined in MetaObjectExtensions in
Microsoft.Scripting.dll. My hack below copies MetaObjectExtensions and
its dependencies to Microsoft.Scripting.Core and patch it to be a
partial class instead of a static class housing extension methods. Any
better idea?
Also there are some unused files in the source distribution.
Below are steps I used to compile the source on Mono.
Download source from
http://www.codeplex.com/IronPython/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=19841
$ unzip IronPython-2.0-Src.zip
$ cd IronPython-2.0
Some hacks...
$ svn co -r 597
https://fepy.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/fepy/trunk/patches/latest
build
This deletes unused files and does copying mentioned above
$ sh build/pre.sh
Copies NAnt build file: it uses noconfig to avoid pulling System.Core.dll
$ cp build/IronPython.build Src
Patches
$ patch -p1 < build/patch-exthack
$ patch -p1 < build/patch-console
Build
$ cd Src
$ nant
