"monolite" is a minimal distribution of the Mono C# compiler mcs.exe,
and its dependencies - it is needed to compile the Mono C# compiler mcs.exe.

Tarballs of Mono bundle monolite, but git builds you either need an
existing "mcs" in $PATH, or to obtain monolite separately

"make get-monolite-latest" will use curl or wget to download a
compatible version of monolite to your source tree (into
mcs/class/lib/monolite/)

Any reply could be appreciate!

Thank you!

I did some work on this a few years back and am currently working on 
general ppc64 support.  I can probably help some with power questions 
though not necessarily with AIX specific questions.

Hi,
Thank you for your answer,
I think I can't use the Fedora people built mono for Fedora, because I need 
build it on aix system.
Now I met the problem is the monolite(in fact it is a basic.exe) can't run on 
aix, because maybe it not supported
aix, so  how can I get the source code of monolite and compile it on aix, if 
not, must I compile the first mono by monolite?

Thank you!

I know that the Fedora people are building Mono for ppc64 architecture. Perhaps 
you can use their mono to build your mono?
I don't know enough about monolite, but it seems the Fedora people are using 
the default monolite that comes with the mono tarball (at least on the first 
4.x build, after that the previous mono version is used for building).
See the history of builds of Mono for ppc64:
http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=4277
On each build, you get a link to the src rpm.
eg. the first successful bootstrap build of Mono 4:
http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=333854

hope this helps,
