Standalone Mono for OS X

[Nathan Torkington]

(not really Perl content, so I look forward to being reamed by Randal 
for polluting our bandwidth, tragifying the commons, and generally 
being the vanguard of a thousand dark years of oppressive alien rule)  
I believe you can get mono via Fink, but I've soured on Fink after 
several of those upgrade circles of hell where package A depends on 
version X of library L but package B depends on version Y and the two 
versions refuse to cohabitate and ...

Well, anyhow.  I built Mono on my lonesome (but not Gtk for Gtk#, 
sadly) and made a DMG of an installer package for it.  You can get it 
from:

I don't know whether you need Developer Tools installed for it to work. 
 I don't believe it links against any X11 libraries, but I wouldn't be 
prepared to swear on that with anything valuable at stake.

If, like me, you've always been curious about C# and Mono and wanted to 
play, here's your chance.  I tried the ByteFX MySQL library and it 
works a charm.

Cheers;

Nat
