This will compile Mono from the GIT repository.
Hint
Since this is updated very often it could include some bugs. But in most cases it works great.
Procedure
| • | Install additional needed packages
sudo apt-get install libtool libglib2.0-dev libxrender-dev libfontconfig1-dev libpng12-dev libgif-dev libjpeg8-dev libtiff5-dev libexif-dev gettext libcairo2-dev |
| • | Create a new folder where we place the files. You can use your home directory for that
cd ~
mkdir sources
cd sources |
libgdiplus Compilation
| • | Get the libgdiplus sources from GIT
git clone git://github.com/mono/libgdiplus |
| • | Enter the new directory
cd libgdiplus |

./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr |
| • | Compile the sources
sudo make |

You can also use apt-get install mono-gmcs for the 4 gmcs steps. |

If you used sudo make get-monolite-latest use this:
