Gentoo Ebuilds

Rainer Groesslinger (rainer.groesslinger AT gmx DOT net) has contributed ebuild rules to the Gentoo portage directory. These new ebuilds are currently still marked as "unstable". To use them, make sure that /etc/portage/package.keywords contains the following lines:

dev-dotnet/pnet ~x86
dev-dotnet/pnetlib ~x86
dev-dotnet/pnetc ~x86
dev-dotnet/ml-pnet ~x86

Then you can can build and install DotGNU Portable.Net 0.6.10 by means of the following commands:

emerge sync
emerge pnet
emerge pnetlib
emerge ml-pnet

If you'd like to try the C compiler, you'll also want the C library:

emerge pnetc

The ebuilds are currently available for the following processor types: x86, ppc, ppc64, sparc, mips, alpha, arm, hppa, amd64 and ia64

RedHat/Fedora RPMs

Portable.NET 0.6.10 RedHat/Fedora RPMs have been built by Dejan Lekic (dejan at nu6 dot org). These packages should work on any RPM-based distro.

The packages are available at http://pnet.nu6.org/pak/0.6.10/

Debian

Debian packages have been built by Andrew Mitchell (ajmitch at gnu dot org).

Users of Debian "unstable" can install them by making sure that in the file /etc/apt/sources.lists there is a line

	deb http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main

and then:

	apt-get install pnet
	apt-get install ml-pnet      # additional libs from mono (optional)
