Mono 2.x on CentOS 5
Mono no longer packages for Red Hat distribution but still provide sources. Here we will grab the source code, and install manually on a Cent OS 5.2 box.
First off, make sure you have all the development tools installed:
Pre-Software requirement
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
yum install httpd build-essential gcc bzip bison pkgconfig glib-devel \
glib2-devel httpd-devel libpng-devel libX11-devel freetype fontconfig \
pango-devel ruby ruby-rdoc gtkhtml38-devel wget
At this time, Mono 2.0.1 is the latest. You can always check for new build at http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources-stable/
Getting all the needed Mono software tar jvfx mod_mono-2.0.tar.bz2</code> Directory contents are as follows: ls /opt/mono/lib/
ls /usr/lib/httpd/modules/
And the mod_mono config file should be like this: Let's move it to CentOS style:
cd /root
wget http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/mono/mono-2.0.1.tar.bz2
wget http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/xsp/xsp-2.0.tar.bz2
wget http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/mod_mono/mod_mono-2.0.tar.bz2
wget http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/libgdiplus/libgdiplus-2.0.tar.bz2
Unlike many other tutorials, we will install using "Java" style - the version # is included:
mkdir /opt/mono-2.0.1
Let's make a desult symlink:,
ln -s /opt/mono-2.0.1 /opt/mono
This is needed when building xsp:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig/:/opt/mono/lib/pkgconfig/:/usr/lib/
export PATH=/opt/mono/bin:$PATH
Now we are ready to compile:
tar jvfx mono-2.0.1.tar.bz2cd mono-2.0.1
./configure --prefix=/opt/mono-2.0.1
make; make installtar jvfx xsp-2.0.tar.bz2cd ~/xsp-2.0
./configure --prefix=/opt/mono
make; make install</p>
cd ~/mod_mono-2.0
./configure --prefix=/opt/mono --with-mono-prefix=/opt/mono --with-apr-config=/usr/lib/httpd/modules
make; make installtar jvfx libgdiplus-2.0.tar.bz2cd ~/libgdiplus-2.0
./configure
make; make install
You should now have mod_mono.so in /usr/lib/httpd/modules. Also you should have mod_server in /opt/mono/bin.
You directories should look like those:
