Installing/Upgrading Mono on Debian

    Overview

    This page will help you upgrade Mono on Debian, the operating system used by the MindTouch VM.

    Goal

    After completing this tutorial you will have Mono on the minimum required version for MindTouch.

     

    Upgrading Mono on Debian Lenny (5.0)

    apt-get update
apt-get install gcc libtool bison pkg-config libglib2.0-dev gettext make bzip2 g++

wget http://origin-download.mono-project.com/sources/mono/mono-2.10.2.tar.bz2
tar xvjf mono-2.10.2.tar.bz2
cd mono-2.10.2
./configure --prefix=/opt/mono-2.10

# this might take 30-60 minutes
make
make install

cd /usr/bin
mv mono mono.old
mv gmcs gmcs.old
ln -s /opt/mono-2.10/bin/mono /usr/bin/mono
ln -s /opt/mono-2.10/bin/gmcs /usr/bin/gmcs

    Verify:

    mindtouch:~# mono --version
Mono JIT compiler version 2.10.2 (tarball Wed Jun  15 04:40:15 PST 2011)
Copyright (C) 2002-2011 Novell, Inc and Contributors. www.mono-project.com
        TLS:           __thread
        SIGSEGV:       altstack
        Notifications: epoll
        Architecture:  x86
        Disabled:      none
        Misc:          softdebug
        LLVM:          supported, not enabled.
        GC:            Included Boehm (with typed GC and Parallel Mark)

    Previous Debian versions

    No previous versions of Debian are currently supported.  This means you do not get any security updates for key components such as Apache and PHP, and could well be opening your wiki up to exploitation if it is on the public Internet.

    If you are running Debian Etch, we strongly recommend you upgrade to Lenny immediately.  Full instructions can be found in the Debian manual, or summarized HOWTO guides can be found online.

    What's Next

    Upgrading Mono will ensure you have access to all of MindTouch functionality along with ensuring your MindTouch site's performance is optimal

    Followed the instructions but failed to upgrade. I'm still on 2.4 and not 2.4.3. Do I need to run this command to propagate the change?

    seems that "apt-get -t lenny-backports install mono-gac" (just mono-gac) is enough.

    @coreyg when i tried ln -s /opt/mono-2.4/bin/mono /usr/bin/mono and ln -s /opt/mono-2.4/bin/gmcs /usr/bin/gmcs the links weren't correct

    coreyg says:
    @joolsr Did it say the links didn't exist? Are you able to run mono --version and get that the version is 2.4.3? Were there any errors when running the lines above that?

    System components should be built as packages and installed using dpkg/apt, not installed from source in /opt. Aside from the implications of security updates, you are causing customers to require a full compiler toolchain on their machine.
