Creating a Mono 3 RPM on CentOS

Creating a Mono 3 RPM on CentOS

A quick guide to creating an rpm of mono 3 from source, starting with a CentOS 6.4 minimal using fpm to create the package.

  1. Install prerequisites for building mono 3

    yum -y update
yum -y install glib2-devel libpng-devel libjpeg-devel giflib-devel libtiff-devel libexif-devel libX11-devel fontconfig-devel gettext make gcc-c++

  2. Download and extract libgdiplus and mono sources

    curl -O http://download.mono-project.com/sources/libgdiplus/libgdiplus-2.10.9.tar.bz2
curl -O http://download.mono-project.com/sources/mono/mono-3.1.2.tar.bz2
tar -jxf libgdiplus-2.10.9.tar.bz2
tar -jxf mono-3.1.2.tar.bz2

  3. Configure, make, and make install

    cd libgdiplus-2.10.9
./configure --prefix=/opt/libgdiplus
# overwrite incompatible libtool script in pixman
cp libtool pixman/libtool 
make
su -c "make install"

cd mono-3.1.2
./configure --prefix=/opt/mono-3.1.2
make
su -c "make install"

  4. Install ruby prerequisites for fpm, then fpm itself

    yum -y install ruby ruby-devel rubygems
gem install fpm

  5. Make sure /etc/hosts contains your host name since it will be used in some fpm defaults.

    vi /etc/hosts

  6. Install rpm tools and generate the RPM

    yum -y install rpm-build
fpm -s dir -t rpm -n "mono" -v 3.1.2 /opt/mono-3.1.2 /opt/libdgiplus

You probably will want to explore some other fpm options to customize your rpm further, like setting the maintainer, dependencies, or running pre/post install scripts.
