Building Mono on a BeagleBone Black (Hard Float)

posted on 03 Jan 2014 | software

I performed this on Ubuntu Saucy 13.10 from ARMhf (running from an 8Gb SD card)

  1. Launch a terminal window/ssh into your BBB
  2. sudo apt-get update
  3. sudo apt-get install mono-complete git automake libtool
  4. Wait a long time (hours)
  5. git clone git://github.com/mono/mono.git
  6. cd mono
  7. git submodule init
  8. git submodule update
  9. ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local --enable-nls=no --with-sgen=yes --with-xen-opt=no --with-ikvm-native=no
  10. make
  11. Wait a long time (hours again)
  12. Ignore the errors and hope they don’t mean anything
  13. sudo make install
  14. Wait some more
  15. Ignore the errors and hope they don’t mean anything
