-[source:haikuports/trunk/dev-lang/mono/mono-trunk.diff Patch]
+Mono will not easily run on BeOS, it requires pthreads among other things.
+
+== Getting Mono ==
+
+Either checkout mono and mcs from SVN ([http://www.mono-project.com/AnonSVN]) and apply patches, or use my [http://repo.or.cz/w/mono/afaerber.git?a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/haiku "haiku" Git branch] of mono with mcs from SVN or Git.
+
+Something like this:
+{{{
+git clone git://repo.or.cz/mono.git
+cd mono
+git remote add afaerber git://repo.or.cz/mono/afaerber.git
+git checkout --track -b haiku afaerber/haiku
+cd ..
+svn co svn://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/mcs
+}}}
+
+== Building Mono ==
+
+To do a VPATH build, run (from the {{{mono}}} dir)
+{{{
+NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh
+(cd eglib; NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh
+}}}
+followed by (from your chosen build dir)
+{{{
+path/to/configure --prefix=/boot/home/config --with-glib=embedded --with-gc=none --with-ikvm-native=no \
+ --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-compile-warnings \
+ CPPFLAGS=/boot/home/config/include LDFLAGS=/boot/home/config/lib
+make
+}}}
+This avoids pulling in the full [wiki:dev-libs/glib GLib] dependency but needs [wiki:dev-libs/libiconv libiconv] installed (cf. {{{CPPFLAGS}}}, {{{LDFLAGS}}}) (or will later fail to link).
+It also disables the Garbage Collector to rule that out as source of errors. Support for Java (IKVM) is only disabled to speed up the build.
+
+== Progress ==
+
+~~{{{autogen.sh}}} fails on Haiku, not finding libtool for some reason ([http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/2130 Ticket]); use {{{LIBTOOL=/boot/home/config/bin/libtool ./autogen.sh}}} as workaround.~~ (fixed in Haiku !r25190)

 So JIT'ing (incl. trampolines) already works! (Same assertion failure when running mcs without arguments.)
