Installing Mono Trunk or 2.6.4 Tag with Subversion Source on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid
Updated June 23, 2010!
Lately, I’ve been really digging the new Ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop and web server. So I’ve been meaning to get a post out here describing how I got Mono trunk installed since it comes packaged with 2.4.4. After much testing, I finally have finished getting a script to work with a fresh, vanilla install.
I stumbled on this blog post by Boris Schieman where he wrote a bash script to compile and install the Mono trunk. I made a few tweaks to it for a vanilla linux install for the tagged 2.6.4 release and setup another one for updating a mono trunk build using the daily tarballs. I’ve successfully tested both versions on Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid. I’m just a casual linux/mono user, so use this at your own risk.
