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

[Vernon Cole]

Just learning ... perhaps I missed a step with git or something? ...
but trying to follow along on this.  I am trying to build an
IronPython 2.7 which will run on Ubuntu using the stock 2.6.7 mono --
so .NET 2 compatible.

I just built and am running a copy of openSUSE 11.4, so in theory I
have a good enough mono and compiler, etc.
I believe I have the latest source.
git log gives:

    Fixes IronPython CLR2 build.

My build attempt ends in an error.
Am I doing it wrong, or is something still missing?

Do I need to update mono to 2.10 on openSUSI, too?

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.
