[IronPython] Building IronPython/IronRuby for Mono? Yes!

[Tomas Matousek]

4) You don't need to do this. Use IronPython.Mono.sln to build IronPython and IronRuby.sln to build IronRuby. Those 2 solutions should work on Mono. DLR is built by both as it is a dependency. No need to build Dlr.sln: it includes both languages plus additional test projects  - as you noticed some of the test assemblies are not buildable on Mono yet.

4) Edit IronPython/Solutions/Dlr.sln
Removed anything that said "test" and other parts that aren't needed.
(One test had a file that Mono wouldn't read the .il code correctly
(./Test/ClrAssembly/Src/typeforwarder2.il) and some filenames in csproj files that had the wrong case, which doesn't work too well on a case-sensitive file system. I started to fix those, but left that for now).

5) Delete IronPython/bin/Debug/*.dll

6) Build it:
cd IronPython/Solutions/
xbuild Dlr.sln
xbuild IronPython.sln

7) Test:
$cd ../bin/Debug/
$ mono ipy.exe
IronPython 2.7 DEBUG (2.7.0.40) on .NET 4.0.30319.1 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 1 + 1
2
>>> ^d

It is still in gray colors, but that works.

Questions:

1) How to build a Release version rather than Debug?
2) How to set the framework to use 2.0 rather than 4.0?

I will add this information to the wiki so that people can do exactly that.
