HOWTO

# Mono
# ====
# As I write this, the latest "stable" release according to the web site
# is 1.2.6 and the latest "legacy" release is 1.0.6

# If you want to uninstall libgdiplus or Mono, or clean up files from an
# old version before installing a new one, skip down to the bottom for
# instructions.

# Make sure that you install any Mono-based apps into the same prefix that
# you use for Mono itself (otherwise you'll have a /usr/lib/mono and a
# /usr/local/lib/mono mess...)

# libgdiplus 1.2.6
# ================
# Prerequisites:
# pkg-config
# cairo
# libtiff
# libjpeg
# libungif
# libpng
# XFree86 or X.org
# freetype2
# zlib
