Requires mono 2.9 or higher. Prefer Mono 3.0.

On OSX, requires automake 2.69. To install fromhomebrew:

brew install automake

To build and install on non-MacOS Unix systems:

./autogen.shmakesudo make install

On MacOS (OSX), use a prefix to your version of Mono:

./autogen.sh --prefix=/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/makesudo make install

On Windows, build using msbuild (if .NET is installed) or xbuild (if only Mono 3.0.1 is installed):

cd srcxbuild fsharp-proto-build.projxbuild fsharp-library-build.projxbuild fsharp-compiler-build.proj

Building using xbuild does not yet lay down a Mono-ready distribution (see src/fsharp/targets.make), so should onlybe used for private development rather than preparing distributions. The FSharp.Core.dll produced will be delay-signed,if a strong-name signed FSharp.Core.dll is needed then use the one in

   lib\bootstrap\signed\3.0\v4.0\FSharp.Core.dll

On 'make' the main compiler binaries produced go inlib/release/4.0

There are versions of FSharp.Core for .NET 2.0 and MonoAndroid (Mono profile 2.1) inlib/release/2.0lib/release/2.1

On 'make install' the binaries etc. go in the prefix, e.g.

/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib/mono/2.0/FSharp.Core.dll/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib/mono/2.1/FSharp.Core.dll/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib/mono/4.0/fsc.exe/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib/mono/4.0/FSharp.Compiler.dll.../Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib/mono/4.5/fsc.exe/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib/mono/4.5/FSharp.Compiler.dll.../Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib/mono/gac/.../FSharp.Compiler.dll/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib/mono/gac/.../FSharp.Compiler.dll...

plus some files for xbuild support

/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib/mono/Microsoft\ F#/v4.0/*/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current/lib/mono/Microsoft\ SDKs/F#/3.0/Framework/*

(these names are the canonical names for Microsoft.FSharp.targets used by project files coming from Visual Studio)

plus scripts

/usr/bin/fsharpc (F# compiler)/usr/bin/fsharpi (F# Interactive)

We have a CI build set up with the JetBrains/Teamcity server as part of the F# community projects there:

http://teamcity.codebetter.com/project.html?projectId=project61&tab=projectOverview

@forki controls access. Right now this builds both a Mono 'make' install and a Windows 'cd src; msbuild fsharp-build.proj' build. No binaries are saved from the build, it is just for sanity checking.

Uses bootstrapping libraries, tools and F# compiler. Thelib/bootstrap/X.0 directories contain mono-built libraries, compiler and tools that can be used to bootstrap a build. You can also supply your own via the--with-bootstrap option.

F# compiler sources dropped by Microsoft are available fromfsharppowerpack.codeplex.com.
