Compile mono from source on OSX

The following is how I compiled mono latest from source:

  1. Install MacPorts from http://macports.org
  2. Install gettext 
    sudo port install gettext
  3. Locate your current mono environment. It is usually at: 
    /Library/Framework/Mono.framework/Versions/Current
  4. Download the mono source from GitHub master branch 
    git clone https://github.com/mono/mono.git
  5. Run autogen with your OSX version prefix 
    ./autogen.sh --prefix=/Library/Framework/Mono.framework/Versions/Current
  6. Run make 
    sudo make
  7. Optionally, you can run the tests 
    sudo make check
  8. Run make install 
    sudo make install
